過度報告發現政府哥哥計劃闖入

RINF 新聞

一項新的研究從專家在倫敦學校經濟(LSE)發現政府計劃監測我們的互聯網通信在網絡可能導致巨型的負擔和過度叫闖入。

ISPs和電話公司必須已經存放我們的通信數據為12個月。

新的計劃將允許政府訪問第三方國外提供者例如Hotmail，雅虎，并且意味當局的Gmail可能審查我們的整個互聯網活動和電話。

「我們有關家庭辦公室冥想一種劇烈的改進 監視 在管理負擔的力量和增量被安置在通信服務提供者」，認為報告。

“What is being proposed under these modernisation powers is that every communication transaction, and all forms of future transactions, is now suspicious, worthy of later consideration by the police.”

It adds: “This is a phase change not only in communications surveillance, but in the power of surveillance by government itself.”

The report exploses a brief history the interception of communications dating back to 1660.

The report continues: “Although there is a case for the new powers, a thorough analysis of all citizensʼ communication traffic data would radically transform British society. Private meetings would be a thing of the past. This would be akin to having to notify the government of all the people you met with last night, in order to give them the opportunity to choose whether they want to retrospectively read any conversation transcripts that may be available. This has profound implications for the ability to associate free from surveillance.

“Political campaigning and political organising would be radically transformed. Political actors would be under constant scrutiny, regardless of whether their communications data is actually being physically read by an individual.

“As the general public becomes aware of the practice of collecting and collating all this personal information, the risk is that it will generate a chilling effect on the individual’s right to free expression, association and might dissuade people from participating in communications transactions. Already, following from the media coverage of the Government ‘wanting to get access to social networking profiles’ there has been a rising concern about what people do or say on social networking sites.”
