We never had Internet Privacy

Australia is considering following the lead of Britain and other European nations in demanding that Internet Providers maintain a record of all their customers activities for a period of up to 10 years.

In Britain the law demands that Internet Providers maintain records for a period of 6 years, other nations demand records from between 6 months and 2 years. To them the issue of retrieving those records is as simple as a warrant. the user need not be informed that he/she is been looked at.

I think this is a serious breach of our privacy and that it runs along the lines of a government demanding to know what books we read.

What do you guys think of this?
