Bell Sympatico has informed its customers that it intends to "monitor or investigate content or your use of your service provider's networks and to disclose any information necessary to satisfy any laws, regulations or other governmental request."

Bell is the first Canadian internet provider to do this. Telus, Shaw and others are likely close behind.

I've got nothing to hide and I'm all for catching the bad guys. But how much of our civil liberties are we supposed to give up to satisfy post 9/11 paranoia? Why not conduct random searches of our homes to see if we are linked to the evil-doers?
