Looks like this is coming back again, with the goverment requiring ISPs to provide private user information without any kind of court oversight, and requiring ISPs to track everything (as opposed to how it is now which is voluntary, which is bad enough).
This despite the conservatives saying they wouldn't do this in 2007. They decided that requiring a warrant to get personal info would "negatively impact the ability to carry out investigations and would introduce an additional burden on the criminal justice system."
Well duh, the whole idea of privacy and such is to negatively impact the ability to carry out investigations, to PRESERVE PRIVACY.
If the only thing one wants to do is make investigations as expedient as possible, do away with any notion of privacy. Let the police search your house and car and tap your phones and hack and watch your webcams whenever they want, warrants take up too much time donchaknow.
And of course we'll pay for it (either through increased rates, or taxes).
