Brits have it worse than US!


"The UK government has decided to spend hundreds of millions of pounds (gajillions of dollars in US currency) on a huge central silo for all of the country's communications data. What'll that entail? Well, apparently "the one-stop-shop database will retain details of all calls, texts, emails, instant messenger conversations and websites accessed in the UK for up to two years." Oh my."

And here I thought FISA and the new domestic spying program in America was bad. England is enacting even harsher monitoring of their citizens electronic communications. Wow, a country more paranoid of their citizens than America and China, shocking.
