Communucations data does NOT include the content of emails or other communications. Nevertheless it is highly sensitive in that it will show who you communicate with and which websites you visit/download from and which computers you access. - James Hammerton Wed, 21 May 2008 22:01:19 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/justice-and-civil-liberties/societal-order-via-database-management-200805211424/#comment-256 Perhaps they will next suggest we are all implanted with bluetooth headsets so we can communicate more freely - ha ha! - Dave Wed, 21 May 2008 15:24:05 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/justice-and-civil-liberties/societal-order-via-database-management-200805211424/#comment-254 I find this burning desire to try & manage us by database technology truly fantastic and grotesque. I have worked for 40 years in IT and I know it cannot even work as they wish it to work. But it is the very idea of doing it that is most nauseating. You have to go back to Kafka, Solzhenitsyn, Orwell and the many other opponents of the Marxist state to understand the awful consequences of what they are trying to do. - John of Enfield Wed, 21 May 2008 09:24:10 +0100
