The Death of Privacy

by: enzedder   Category: Human rights

An online Canadian friend of mine sent me the link to an article about some proposed legislation that allows the government to monitor all internet traffic - emails, chat, instant messaging.  Naturally it would cost a vast amount and they dare to suggest that users would pay for the cost of being spied on. 

Consumers will foot bill for net spooks

This is all to do with the continuing attack on rights and privacy because of 'terrorism'.  Governments are paranoid, introducing sweeping legislation to counter - what exactly?  What's the real motive?  If this Canadian proposal becomes law it will spell the end of the internet.
