hmm
i realise there are many life and death things out there my concern on this does not diminish in any way my concerns over them
i do however put this above what government does in snooping on me
we can vote them in and out of power and if its mi5 et al to think we can stop them is laughable in my book and hence of much less concern to me
but to let businesses gain control in any way how ever slight OR even give them the capability to do so at almost the flick of a switch does bother me considerably
i can see no way to interpret dpa ripa or the European directive on communications in any other way than what they have done or are about to do is illegal
and to say that what they do after they steal our data is some how good because they remove personal information is laughable
bit like the post office opening all my letters photocopying them blacking out names and addresses and saying they never looked while they did so
i would still be expecting them to get prosecuted just for opening it
non elected persons should never with out my explicit consent ever see anything of mine
