This is done for your protection.
You government cares about you.
Don't ask questions.
Consume.
Go shopping.
Go to work.
Report anything suspicious. - allowners, on 10/06/2008, -2/+99Good luck sorting all that spam. :)
- renesisx, on 10/06/2008, -0/+83I always hate it when people say "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" :)
- renesisx, on 10/06/2008, -0/+801984 called. It apologised and said it's going to be about 24 years late, but it's bringing its friends.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+79I always say.... if you have nothing to hide....
TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS - kevdotbadger, on 10/06/2008, -0/+74You can take my email, take my SMS, take my phone calls, but you'll never take my tin cans and string.
- cheesegypsy, on 10/06/2008, -1/+46Perhaps they will catch all those Kings of Nigeria now.
- blazes816, on 10/06/2008, -0/+44Just watch out for feds trying to secretly tie on another can.
- tkubic46, on 10/06/2008, -5/+48Jesus ***** christ! The new world order is here, god save us. God save our children, the Police State is on the rise. The ignorant masses accept it like sheeple.
- thepoliticalcat, on 10/06/2008, -0/+35Regardless of what you may or may not have to hide, this intrusion into the people's privacy is frighteningly fascistic. V for Vendetta, anyone?
- ikonizer, on 10/06/2008, -0/+35Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
- Kovalchuk71, on 10/06/2008, -0/+29You are free, to do as we tell you,
You are free, to do as we tell you. - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -2/+29thats really weired thing. and means no privacy for UK peoples. so sad for them
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+26Hasn't anybody seen V for Vendetta?? It sounds like it's time to order masks. For me, for you, and for our neighbours.
The saying is "it always starts small," but this seems like a pretty effing huge civil rights violation (whether or not it is permitted by UK law) - Goodanswer, on 10/06/2008, -1/+27The point is not "nothing to hide" its the invasion of privacy that is the matter.
What about business secrets? High flying deals or soon to be take-overs?
Here in America we have the illusion of Freedom of speech that gives us the illusion to
private email.
I am so sick and tired of people saying "I have nothing to hide so go ahead and take my freedoms while i look the other way"
In case you haven't noticed it always starts with just one and that emboldens them to take others.
Ever hear of this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbNIU2KEz4g - socialexpert, on 10/06/2008, -12/+35I have nothing to hide. But it will get to the point when people are going to worry.
- mickhead, on 10/06/2008, -0/+23My country sucks.
- psud0, on 10/06/2008, -0/+20What about basic human rights on privacy? I don't have nothing to hide either but also a person who works as a human mail checker doesn't have the right to sniff my private stuff. This wouldn't even help them to catch criminals since they could use diverse encryption methods to trick them. I hate these control freaks ...
- borez, on 10/06/2008, -0/+20This is the one time when I'm actually in favour of a massive amount of spam invading the system.
- twiztidsinz, on 10/06/2008, -1/+21Do your part.
Set Firefox to reload 2girls1cup.com every 30 seconds. - renesisx, on 10/06/2008, -0/+19Good answer ;)
- anonymiau, on 10/06/2008, -0/+18"I have nothing to hide" is a flawed argument.
Do you think you've never broken a law your entire life? Never done anything that someone else can perceive as wrong? Never lied or misinformed? Never made bad calls or misjudged situations? Never trusted people you shouldn't have trusted? Do you know every detail about every aspect of the lives of your family, colleagues and friends? Have none of them ever done anything that could make you guilty by association?
And even if you lived your entire life in your parents' basement getting food through a slit in the door and are completely innocent couldn't anyone fabricate evidence or bribe witnesses to get you convicted, let's say, cause they didn't like your "holier-than-thou" attitude?
You are just as innocent as whoever controls you say you are. Don't be so freaking naive. - Dumbledorito, on 10/06/2008, -1/+19Good luck with their word search being able to keep up with "text speak." Further, it would make court more interesting.
"If you will refer to the case of Vtekd00d vs ChaUz@rd, m'lud, it is clearly established that "BRB" is legally defined as no less than three minutes, but not exceeding a half an hour, which falls into the prosecution's timeline of events..." - systemghost, on 10/06/2008, -0/+17Do they honestly have a right to that data? Makes me feel good for having a constitution that prohibits this kind of stuff, even though our government is trampling it like a doormat and probably already logs all this info anyway -- just doesn't bother to tell us like the polite brits.
- AdeleMor, on 10/06/2008, -0/+16god this is the next, worse step in surveillance culture. we need to get back to carrier pigeons.
- keithloughnane, on 10/06/2008, -0/+15If you have nothing to hide give me your credit card numbers. Think about it if you forget your credit card you can just ring me and i can give you the number, It doesn't matter that you don't know me and there is no reasonable reason for me to have those details. But why wouldn't you give them to me, Have you something to hide? Are you a terrorist or something?
- netneutrality, on 10/06/2008, -1/+15Totally bonkers. They'll spy on the ordinary public but of course, anyone doing anything illegal (or anyone paranoid) communicates over SSL tunnels wherever possible.

And every piece that's taken is always portrayed as 'no big deal' by the authoritarian cowards. But every step taken in the direction of tyranny needs to be opposed as strongly as possible.
Britons, to paraphrase a tiny man in a homespun loincloth who stared down your empire and defeated it, “200,000 soldiers simply cannot control 60 million Britons if those Britons refuse to cooperative”. - Iaianrocks, on 10/06/2008, -1/+15o snap time for you brits to come up with codewords for your drugs. no more texting "sup wanker got bud?"
- ogallivanslist, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14i have nothing to hide BUT ***** YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- SpookyET, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14This is ***** stupid. Real crooks use 10 levels of PGP.
- kayamm, on 10/06/2008, -0/+14I hate this new world.. :(
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+13American and British governments are awful. We are run by a bunch of tyrants.
- projomni, on 10/06/2008, -1/+14wow, brutal stuff
- hplasm, on 10/06/2008, -0/+13Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -2/+14Now maybe the Brits can stop bashing the US for a second and look at their own privacy laws.
- Skooma714, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12We were always at war with Eurasia.
- MacBookForMe, on 10/06/2008, -1/+12It is about $24 billion of Taxpayers cash for this activities...not only $2b :)
- pimpofpixels, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10But the U.K. is our closest Ally?
How could they be moving towards a police state? - Niz1, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10So all this time they were not being logged?? yeh right!
- StockholmSyn, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10I was reading in the Metro on the bus today- apparently it's only an idea at the moment they've put money into researching, I have no doubt that if they start to put more into it then there will be a huge uproar from a whole bunch of human rights groups. I'm not one for petitions or anything, but I'd be very much up for signing anything I came across in order to stop it going through.
I completely agree though- it won't do *anything*, just like ID cards, I hate sounding like an Orwell freak or like a conspiracy theorist, but it really is another layer of control. - Skooma714, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10And cake.
- yellowfish04, on 10/07/2008, -0/+9WAR IS PEACE.
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. - lanzemurdok, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9text message to rico the drug dealer: "Hey man i need 2 ounces"
*30 seconds later*
"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" - disappointed, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9"But the plans have been questioned by Cheltenham community leaders"
WTF? Surely they mean Liberty or Amnesty International or some parlimentary group. Why am I only hearing about this from a local newspaper? - emseesee, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9I don't remember the story exactly, but there was a story about a man, challenges to capture as many sheep as he could, he could keep. There were hundreds in the field. He had a one month time limit.
Rather than run around grabbing sheep, he went to work building a fence. He fed the sheep every day. Gradually building a fence around the area. On the last of the 30 days, he built the gate, and closed it. Capturing the entire flock.
Anyhow, this image came to mind.... they're building the fence while everyone enjoys texting and football. - ATL, on 06/20/2009, -1/+10you're missing a "T" there
- casey148, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9You got the honor of getting an email from the King? I always only got them from the Princes. I guess I'm not important enough :(
- BenKenobi88, on 10/06/2008, -1/+10I hate when people put needless emoticons at the end of their sentences >:(
