You didn't even read the introduction page before posting it, did you?
What a maroon.
If all you want to do is entertain and scare, why don't you leave the Current Events forum to the adults and go post jokes and ghost stories and song titles in the Off Topic forum. |

'Massive empire of surveillance'
All cellphone, Blackberry, Net subscriber info available without warrant
David Carrigg
Wednesday, November 16, 2005
Police would be able to demand all cellphone, Blackberry and Internet subscriber information without a warrant, under a sweeping surveillance bill introduced in Parliament yesterday.
"We believe this is only the tip of the iceberg," said Micheal Vonn, policy director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
The Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act would also require telecommunications companies like Telus and Bell to build into their systems a way to monitor and record every wireless communication made by their customers -- at a huge cost.
Currently, a telecommunications company can readily tap a telephone land line if police have a warrant, but tapping new technologies likes Blackberries, Internet and cellphones is not so easy.
"We are obviously creating a massive empire of surveillance by embedding it in the infrastructure," Vonn said.

You do know what every responsible business and govt dept tell its staff about emails (and Blackberries especially), don't you?
Take a second and think about it. |

What's worse, and truly much more threatening to a free & open society is people who persistently deny the reality of conspiracy.
Anyways HACK, cheap comments such as what you had to offer stand only to steer the thread off topic. In offering our thoughts let's at least try & stay focused here.
For one, the reporter is exactly that: A JOURNALIST; and what's more, one working for an all too mainstream publication. While the focus of his story is one which perhaps poor misguided souls such as yourself would rather the public at large not think about, i for one am thankful.
Secondly, in case you haven't noticed, in the day age of increasingly instrusive "BIG BROTHER" technology, privacy issues are of the utmost concern. The state's utter disregard for civil liberties is another.
Who outside of tyrants themselves would want to promote a totalitarian police state society? |
