The recent Government announcement that they were considering monitoring Facebook, MySpace and other social networks for dubious behavior passed by under the radar.
None of the fervor of ID cards, when it’s blatantly more of a infringement of personal freedom.
The problem with any law like this is it doesn’t effect the average voter, this is aimed squarely at (rogue) teenagers (and early adopters). By the the time they can do anything about it, it will have been on the statute books for years.
With the recent announcements on thought controlled devices how long will it be before the government is recording our thoughts under the guise of theses laws.
I’m not too worried about Jackie Smith knowing how many times I check Twitter ,but I’ve got a real paranoia about her recording my thoughts. Just think (excuse the pun) how many times have you thought something that if you said it, you would be arrested?
Paranoid or concerned citizen? Which are you?
