What could go wrong with this?
This is already done in the US, and practically every country on Earth with a more-or-less competent national security agency.
Wasn’t it the NSA which prevented Blackberry from allowing users to enable 256-bit encryption because of the amount of computing power it would take to decrypt messages?
are there no Englishmen in England any more?
how about the Scottish? all gone?
I cannot believe the limeys are taking this laying down - the French, yes, but a Brit????
The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)
By James Bamford
March 15, 2012Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center [in Bluffdale, UT] is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy.
But “this is more than just a data center,” says one senior intelligence official who until recently was involved with the program. The mammoth Bluffdale center will have another important and far more secret role that until now has gone unrevealed. It is also critical, he says, for breaking codes. And code-breaking is crucial, because much of the data that the center will handle—financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications—will be heavily encrypted. According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.”
1930’s Germany redux, with updated technology.
They will be watching for any anti-Islam or anti-gay bias to charge people with thoughtcrime and hate speech.
They want to become 1984... in America we are becoming Idiocracy
Surrre. Riiight. If they have an inch, they're going to take a mile. I know "they" were monitoring my useage for the past 4 years. "They" have crashed two of my puters. Or was it three?
We have all been sold a Bill of Goods on the War on Terror.
It's not about fighting and stopping Terror it's an excuse to control us and that's all.
In the end the terrorists have won as they have become the insturment for Big Government and Big Brother to watch us all.
