Related topic (Privacy): Brittain wants to track all telecom usage



I thought quite a few people on this list might be interested in this
story, regarding privacy on networks. Maybe it will lead to more
people using Tor, or maybe it will lead to increased legal pressure on
Tor users and relay operators.

The second paragraph gives the long and short of it.

"The British government has decided to go ahead with its plans under
what it calls the Intercept Modernisation Programme to force every
telecommunication company and Internet service provider to keep a
record of all of its customers' personal communications, showing who
they have contacted, when and where, as well as the web sites they
have visited, according to the London Telegraph and various other
British papers."
