Sent to you by pakurilecz via Google Reader: British Government to
Collect Every Email via Death By Email Blog by Roger Matus on 11/10/08
Every email and web visit in the UK will be collected and stored by
government-owned "black boxes" under the British Government's grand
plans for a giant "big brother" database, The Independent newspaper
reports. This is a latest step in a country where there is extensive
monitoring via closed circuit television and other methods.

Plans to create a database holding information about every phone call,
email and Internet visit made in the UK have provoked a huge public
outcry. Nevertheless, government ministers have said they are committed
to consulting on the new Communications Data Bill early in the new year.

The newspaper's information is based on discussions held between Home
Office representatives and leading figures in the IT and
telecommunications industries. Further details of the technical aspects
of collecting the informationemerged on Monday at a meeting of Internet
service providers (ISPs) in London where representatives from BT, AOL
Europe, O2 and BSkyB were given a PowerPoint presentation of the issues
and the technology surrounding the Government's Interception
Modernisation Programme (IMP), the name given by the Home Office to the
database proposal, the newspaper said.

What is not known is what the government will do with the information,
who will have access to the information, and what privacy protections
-- if any -- will be afforded.
