Data Retention and Snooping

As from last Monday, Internet Service Providers and others will be keeping a record of all emails, websites visited, as well as 'phone calls and text messages, such information to be used against you by Government, local authorities and the like.

This was not debated in Parliament, having been imposed under the EU Data Retention Directive.

The Government will say it has something to do with the fight against terrorism but it has the added little bonus that they know what you've been doing, doesn't it?
