They simply want to spy on average people.

I would like to see exactly what the thought processes were used and know who were involved….

Anyway all this does is encourage me to quit my current ISP account and steal my neighbors wireless. This way they can get in trouble for whatever insane law the conservative government creates. I bet they are trying to outlaw Google cause they have links to links of copywritten content.

No matter what the circumstance is, I refuse to allow any random human, authority or not, to access my online activities.

Do those fools have any idea how many exploits and abuses this would introduce? This would allow the police interfere with private matters of the innocent. However not every officer is competent or trustworthy when omitting consideration of their titles. They should at least attempt to remove the root of these problems before unnecessarily involving those irrelevant.

“Unfortunately, these technologies have also provided new ways of committing crimes such as distributing child pornography. We must ensure investigators have the necessary powers to trace and ultimately stop crimes.”

But what crimes are the most prominent or exclusive to the Internet? What is the clear definition of ‘child pornography’ in the first place, as there have been widespread confusions about it? Will tracking every single user actually isolate real criminals without causing havoc?

“Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Sweden, already have similar legislation in place.”

Yet no mentioning of ongoing disputes.

Finally, who is to say that criminals would unintentionally leave trails of their activities leading to them? What is the probability that they use their own computers, let alone their own Internet accesses?
