Under Government plans to monitor internet traffic, raw data would be collected and stored by the black boxes before being transferred to a giant central database.

The vision was outlined at a meeting between officials from the Home Office and Internet Service Providers earlier this week.

It is further evidence of the Government's desire to have the capability to vet every telephone call, email and internet visit made in the UK, which has already provoked an outcry.

[No Nay Never]

What is with this country? It's like we are the guinea pigs for the trial of every possible means of monitoring people.

This would have super-sinister implications as far as this forum goes. Most of us would be on the black list within a few posts if they're looking for criticism of Obama, the far-left, other ungodly things, etc.

It's no coincidence George Orwell's 1984 is set in Britain, is it? :twitch


(Though Britain is a province of "Oceania" in the book).
