roundball 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 In Australia we dont have this sort of thing going on just yet and thank god.What we do in our own homes is our business. I can understand the desire for government authorities to want to monitor activities of people on the internet but if they are simply using it as a method of catching out criminals then for the sake of 99% of computer users it is inappropriate.

biscuitrat 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 I would like to say that they really dont look at individuals files one at a time - they put it all in a database and run searches for choice information. As such, 99% of you still have your privacy, assuming you dont do anything wrong with your computer, or else you may come up in a search. Also, if somebody hijacks your computer for malicious purposes the police dont just walk up to you and toss you in jail, but search your computer in much the same way to find out who did it (if it wasnt you then you are safe). Any bits of irrelevant data they find is not logged, talked about, or remembered - you are one of millions. Any relevant data is filed with the case to be viewed again as necessary during the case and only to be opened ever again if there is a purpose (make sense?) and the case needs more work. Oh, and btw I would like to add that some governments (US included) already are monitoring the general public using many methods, most people just dont realize that they are trying to cover their bases so it doesnt become a large scale issue. You can be monitored by software on your computer (spyware, spybots, and many other forms of malware), hardware (more rare to what Ive seen but it can and has been done), keyloggers and the like (software and hardware exist), external devices and storage media (pop in a cd and they could know which one - look it up), your cable/phone line, your isp (and yes they do give that information, and get $$$ for doing so), other clients, servers, online tracking spiders, email, search engines, general public hubs, proxies (they arent invincible), intercepters, and even satellites. The list could go on but im tired! Im just trying to say you are making way too big of a deal out of this, they arent trying to find out how many pizzas you order a week, or if you like to go to http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=yummyfudge&e=com a lot. Its not just for terrorism but also for financial reasons, like the millions companies lose yearly on piracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
