UK government plans to track ALL web use: MI5 to install 'black box'
spy devices to monitor British internet traffic
http://j.mp/WTZTlx (Daily Mail)
"UK spy agencies want to install 'black box' surveillance devices
across the country's communications networks to monitor internet use,
it emerged today. A report by an influential committee of MPs tells
how spooks are keen to implement a nationwide surveillance regime
aimed at logging nearly everything Britons do and say online."

This is one reason why I consider EU hysteria over harmless cookies --
and their extremely dangerous ideas like the "right to be
forgotten" -- to be so hypocritical. At the same time they make so much noise
about these, they're pushing massive government surveillance of the
Internet and cell phones, and enormous data retention projects.
