Re: Police seek powers to access browsing history of UK computer users
Why do they need access to everyone is what I want answered or are we all just assumed to be future criminals and terrorists seems very heavy handed to me and difficult and costly to implement, I'm sure the cost will be passed onto us another reason not to be supportive. I am all for the police having the powers necessary to deal with criminals and terrorists but it must be selective not broadly based like this. Over the last few decades many of the old rights we held value too have been eroded and reduced some to the point of being little more then phrases thrown around but the blame lies as much with us as the one's that have eroded them as we let them do it and get away with it.
Whilst I don't fully agree with you Osem it's a fact that there has been a push (for want of a better term) to get us all into and more reliant on the digital world in the last decade and more and more things are progressing in that direction. We can only hope those in power in the future will be better then those in the past time will tell I suppose.
