Phonecalls And Texts To Be Logged

There are things about this story which incense me.

The innocent minority are monitored to possibly stop the criminal minority doing wrong.

652. Yes, six hundred and fifty two public bodies including your local council, will have access to the information. Information such as when you made a call/sent a text, who to and even exactly where you were.

Where was the public consultation about this? I didn’t know about it until it featured half-way down the Technology page of the BBC website.

They can dress it up as in the public interest as much as they like, but I really don’t want everything I do monitored by authorities I don’t trust.

I know it’s a cliche, but Orwell knew a knew or two…
