    Email and web use to be monitered under new laws

    Well, George Orwell predicted this and its coming true. Totalitarianism here we come.

    I can see this being abused and this is on a slippery slope to a secret police.

    Thoughts?

    Can't see it making it through HoC or HoL tbh.

    Good on them for laying this out on April Fools though.

    Ah I didn't know a thread had been done. No need for the neg rep though, although websites like this allows the cowardly to disapprove what others say without repercussion.
