Re: If given the option would you allow the government to look at what you do online?Hell no. It's Tor and VPN's for me all the way.
The government are asking for trouble and with this type of move. It's only a matter of time until people learn to become anonymous and discover a whole dark world they never knew of. If the government wants to breach human rights then they should expect the consequences. -

Re: If given the option would you allow the government to look at what you do online?For statistical purposes and/or to track down criminals/terrorists, yes why not? I doubt they give a **** about me as a person. I don't want them to be able to do anything about piracy though
Edit :changed my mind actually no. The internet is the freest place in the world, maybe it should just run wild and not be touched.Last edited by Dragonfly07; 02-04-2012 at 09:05. -

Re: If given the option would you allow the government to look at what you do online?A bit off topic but what are police allowed to look at your internet for? Can they look at your stuff if they suspect you of anything or is it only for terroism etc? Is it difficult for them to do so?
