Government to snoop on our e-mails

The government plans to extend the law to require internet service providers to keep records of the public's e-mail and web use by March next year, it emerged yesterday.


Downtime is delighted that the government is at last going to snoop on all our internet activity as well as our post and phone calls. If the plods are going to read all the mail anyway, they have a wonderful opportunity to sort the spam from the beef. That would be a public service we could all support.
