The UK Government may just have finally flipped. It
is considering setting up a private company to run
some sort of super-database that will track all of
everybody’s emails. No, I mean all of them.
The civil liberty implications are one thing. The logistics are another. It’s now 5.34pm UK time and I got back from my meetings today at about 12.30, had a sandwich, chatted to my wife and sauntered into the home office at about 1.15.
Since that time I have sent 26 mails. Averaging that out, that’s going to mount up to about 40-50 a day when I’m around full time. Add Tweets, Facebook updates, blog entries and you’re going to be pushing 60-70.
Multiply that by the 35 million or so working people in the UK and you have a recipe for chaos.
There’s a movement to point out the error of this idea. You can become involved by clicking this link to ccJacquismith and reading about a day on which everyone who agrees will copy the Government on everything they send, to illustrate the point. I urge you to have a look.
