The "snoopers' charter" has been proposed in England to make way for the installation of "black boxes" to moniter emails of citizens and the like.
This is another step in the Orwellian surveillance grid in Great Britain.
England is corrupt to the gills as evidenced by the Murdoch hacking scandal. That massive corruption includes the British police who will have access to this surveillance information.
Citizens should not tolerate this. You do not want corrupt people snooping on you. In fact anyone who snoops on innocent people is ... not a good person.
It simply is unethical and creepy.
The British government under Cameron attempting to bring in this sinister measure is a regime of perversion.
It almost seems they are trying to legalize the crimes committed by the Murdoch people.
Thank god the move has sparked a row amongst the Tories. Thank god for David Davis who says the internet tracking powers under the snoopers' charter will be "incredibly intrusive".
The creeps who are intruding on innocents are perverts. You don't want these freaks spying on you. The police and the creep spymasters are committing more crimes than most people. They are known to protect criminals - here in Canada the uber fascist corrupt RCMP paramilitary cult is doing this.
In Britain Cameron et al, like the disgraceful Harper regime, are in bed with al-Qaeda in Libya and such places.
The governments in the western world are now the terrorists. They are terrorizing the people.
Here is a section of a news report in the Guardian regarding Davis, etc.
The government is to offer a blank cheque to internet and phone firms that will be required to track everyone's email, Twitter, Facebook and other internet use under legislation to be published on Thursday.
The disclosure means the taxpayer could face an as-yet-unspecified bill running into hundreds of millions of pounds for the "internet snooping scheme".
It came as the former Conservative shadow home secretary, David Davis, accused the home secretary, Theresa May, of proposing an "incredibly intrusive'' scheme that was exactly the same as the proposal David Cameron had attacked when Labour proposed it in office.
May, in turn, branded the scheme's critics "conspiracy theorists", risking an even deeper breach with her own party's libertarian wing over the plan.
The Home Office has confirmed it will foot the bill, thought to run into tens and possibly hundreds of millions, for collecting and storing the extra social media and web browsing records needed to implement the scheme, which critics have dubbed an "online snooper's charter".
Ministers did not put a figure on the cost of the scheme but said it would be far less than the £2bn price tag estimated when Labour put forward a web-tracking scheme based on a central Home Office database in 2006.

Here are notes for the RT video:

The UK has found another way to snoop into its citizens' affairs. Internet and phone companies are set to install so-called 'black boxes', which will monitor e-mails, social networking activity and calls, and store data for a year. The authorities insist that only limited details will be kept, but activists are raising privacy concerns. RT's Sara Firth has the details.
