I think Dogs Rule asks the correct question, not twesterm.

@twesterm:
Opinions like yours make it easy for governments to reduce liberty bit by bit.

We live in the age of fear (governments) and disinterest (citizen).


 What liberty is being taken away? Does it really matter that someone is monitoring my phone calls? I promise you that don't care that you went out drinking last weekend and shoplifted a twinkie.

Why do people care if your communication is logged?

Unless you actually have something to hide the person monitoring your whatever isn't going to care about the excessive amount of porn on your hard drive or you talking dirty to someone in an email.


It depends on the porn, and if ponies are involved I spose.

If it is put into action people should start using encryption on all communication wherever possible.



 Like I said, again, if you have nothing to hide you shouldn't care.

@twestern, would you seriously give out credit card info, SSN, or any other sensitive info over the phone knowing it is going to be logged? Some people don't do any of that over the internet because of security concerns and for good reason. All they are doing is upping the amount of taxes people will need to pay, and adding another way for identity thieves to steal information.

 If it was just some random person, yes.  If it was some person who was monitored themselves then no.
