EU adopts data retention
Unfortunately, it's mainly our infernal govenrment that is causing much of this. To some extent, Europe protected us from the SWPat directive - but this data retention has been at least partly driven by the UK.
Our state is corrupt: many of the things that should be illegal (Data Retention, Detention without charge/trial,CCTV,ID cards, biometrics) are being actively encouraged by the government.
Now, since we have this legislation, what are we going to do that screws it up? We (the techies) still run the Internet - so how do we build anonymisation and encryption into everything. Preferably by default.
