The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, today ruled out building a single state “super-database” to track everybody’s use of email, internet, text messages and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter…
Instead the Home Office is looking at a £2bn solution that would involve requiring communications companies such as BT, Virgin Media, O2 and others to retain such personal data for up to 12 months.
Isn’t that a halfway George W. Bush kind of solution? Pay your Telco buds to do the spying?
Instead communications companies are to be required by legislation to ensure that all traffic data – who sent a text to whom at what time and from where – is collected and kept in Britain. They will also be asked to store additional third-party data crossing their networks including phone calls and internet use from outside Europe.
This goes far beyond the current data collected for billing purposes. The companies will also be asked to organise the data – for example, matching it where it relates to the same person so that the authorities can access it in a form that is immediately usable.
Doesn’t sound any less creepy.
Everyone is forgetting the *****REAL***** story. Does anyone really think that no government pencil pusher or Corp IT guy will “with reason” look into CEO XYZ’s records and get the inside scoop on upcoming mergers, quarterly numbers, and other juicy and profitable tidbits?
Why aren’t companies in an uproar about sensitive data protection?!
You Barking moonbats are incredibly entertaining … your “yes we can” Loon in Chief is deconstructing America into Britain’s image every day…the Brits are but a few years further on liberal loon road…

Zapatero, another typical left wing loon.
Great, they’ll have a bunch of dot heads do it for them.
#13 – That wasn’t Bush, that was Cheney. He’s actually the one behind this database too.
What a load of rubbish! The Home Office needs pull their heads out of their ass if they think this will be up and running for £2bn.
Yeah, sure the Brits have elected a Socialist Left of Progressive government. Aren’t they supposed to stop this?
I haven’t seen our own President Hussein ending any of the wire tapping or spying on American citizens, instead they are busy making up reasons to spy on anyone that’s a Nationalist or Christian, witness Homeland Sec.’s Right Wing Extremist Report. Yep, all President Hussein has done is let our admitted and guilty Muslims and make sure that they can commit their Jihad on the welfare and social security pay role.
Keep drinking the Cool Aid Jimmy Jone Eideard, maybe you won’t have deal with the Globalist Hellhole the Demoncrats and Repulicrats are creating.
Whatever…………

You know we’re dealing with all this crap, just so we can import foreign trash into this country and keep up slave freetrade and become part of a NAU/Globalist one world dictatorship….? Really you’d think with all the written history we’d have more educated individuals capable of seeing what’s happening, what morons the Left are.
Even while Stalin was sending the people to their deaths in the Gulag system they wrote trying to inform the very individual that was sending to the death camps, but all we can remember is Hitler….we haven’t learned anything.
Whatever………………

Outsorced to India where they know how to take care of all your personal data.
