“Should we allow for the existence of safe places where terrorists communicate?” – Asked David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. “Do we want our country to allow for communication between people, which even in the end we can not read?”. Somehow, the United Kingdom is a place where internet regulation is going in completely the opposite of the correct direction.
David Cameron is known for his tendencies to network control. It was he who introduced legislations, which provide that the default ISP block access to pornography and the client must unlock it at his own request. It was he who gave suppliers broad discretion in implementing the provisions of the law to the extent to which the “harmful” content may be subject blocked pages that are not necessarily pornography and harm the interests of companies. For example, those of you unlock the phone.
That David Cameron just after the riots in 2011, he wanted to give the police the tools to track people in the instant messaging and social media, because organize themselves in these places.
At the same time it the same man who readily agreed to the ban on recording in the UK pornography certain categories, including such activities that are natural for women and in which a woman and not a man receives more pleasure.
As a broken record, David Cameron at every opportunity, returns to the idea of blocking, and to give authorities greater traceability of Internet users and insight into their private activities. Now use the tragedy in Paris and the fear of ordinary citizens to convince the public to your right. Right Cameron states that care about the safety authorities should be able to inspect all communication between citizens and encrypted communication is a threat.
Because you know – Whats Appa terrorists use or Snapchata where in the theory of transmitted messages can not read even the creator of instant messaging.
If legislation is not yet concrete and contains more rhetoric than the details, but it is repeated in the Cameron government scheme. The Internet is a threat to security, because it is sometimes used to plan attacks, so you need to make the government could read and see everything that is transmitted through it. I block, block, block!
I am not convinced Cameron to ensure that realizes how great is power and that it should be used only as a last resort, with special precautions. Yes I already have, I do not believe that the guests who come up to regulate the internet is not from this page you need and who use marches in support of freedom of speech and behavior expression to ugrania their political goals.
The secret correspondence, no matter whether Letter or virtual, is one of the most important rights of the citizen, which should be abolished only in exceptional circumstances, on clear and transparent conditions. And so now, in a lot of players have access to communication between people – after all, we use the tools of big corporations, so they think they have a right to. In the end, we use security breaches sensitive tools, so take note that the big agencies like the American NSA bury in our news.
But is the way it should be? And above all, whether we should start from discussions about how to make the Internet has become for us a better and bring positive effects on society?
Let me remind you that David Cameron is the same guy whose the Government of the big Internet companies avoid and still avoid paying UK taxes. Amazon and Google through dziurawemu law ukninęły pay according to various calculations, even a few billion pounds and although it is widely known about this for several years, only now the finance minister is trying to remedy this seriously.
However, this reading of instant messaging is more important. In the name of security. Known is a story that begins with a tragedy and fear, and then end the abuse of power and leaked information that the great authorities spied on their citizens and the abuse of power, because they could. We have seen that even after 11 September 2001, which started in the United States wave of abuses that led to the scandal of the PRISM and the information that reveal Edward Snowden.
Good luck, Great Britannia.
