 |
|
Government could start to use Social Networking Sites like Twitter and Facebook to check our movements. I personally don't think this is right looking in on your private life.
How on earth could they check on us if someone writes up, "! I'm off to A, then may change their mind and go to B? |

Everything we do on the internet is logged by so-called "black boxes" that are compulsorily installed into every public ISP. The administrator of this very web domain can look up every IP address you used when logging in to this MB.
Faxes that leave and enter the UK have been cached "somewhere" for over 2 decades. Telephone calls are digitised and stored for a given period.
So what's new about this revelation about social networking?

The government used to have to get warrants to investigate specific numbers. Now they want to do open trawls of what people are looking at.

It's a smokescreen. They've been doing it for years with the "black boxes" that have been in place for several years now.
