well why would you be worried? its social networking sites. if you don't like the fact that you're being watched, don't use them. if it wasn't for the fact that social networkings sites are so trite and inane it might be a cause for concern, like say, the proposed I.D card scheme.
Social networking has given us pokes, tweets and lilly-fucking-allen. what do they expect to find anyway? "Usman is building a dirty bomb lol!"
i get a bit pissed off when people moan about how this country is a POLICE STATE or its like 1984.
no its not.
if it was we wouldn't even be allowed to talk about things like this. for all the faults with this country theres also a lot right with it and i get fucked off when people vent their piss tits about something thats so fucking pointless it doesnt matter. there are bigger fish to fry and there are places in the world where people are suffering real human rights abuses and are censored to an insane degree.
I don't like the idea that our government is watching -spying- on people, its invasive and creepy and probably uncessary, but if you don't wan't them to see you poke your friends up the bum, try logging off.

I am not saying it is like 1984, but it is heading that way.
And it isn't jst social networking sites, it's a lot more that this represents and brings awareness to- the govt using terrorism as an excuse to spy on people. The fact that you said, that they won't be likely to find what they want from it, evidence of terrorism, is only proof that potential terrorism is nothing more than an excuse to invade people's privacy.
What is "right with" the UK, then?

You just sound patriotic and excessivley angry, btw.
Thinking about what role the govt. has in people's lives is important. What's wrong with discussing it?
I didn't say I was worried, I just asked if other people were. I am not just reffering to social networking sites. I am trying to start a discussion about govt monitoring in general.

What do you think was going to happen? If you don't want the government keeping tabs on your every move, don't post them on a public forum.

Why are people so concerned about privacy anyway? I have never understood why people care that the government knows what porn they masturbate to or what parties they go to or what music they listen to. Most people lead inane lives.

see, thats just how much of a presumptious cunt you are. for the record. i'm no patriot. theres a lot to be pissed off about with this country and its governance, but it allows for also a lot of freedoms. when people talk about the UK becoming a totalitarian state, it smacks of the lazy tack sensationalism you would expect to read about in the Daily Mail or the Independent.
- you have access to free health care and to a certain age, education
- you have virtually uncensored internet access, even if some aspects are monitored
- you have freedom of movement - you have freedom of speech - the right to lawful protest- - laws protecting almost every minority group from discrimination and abuse
- the welfare state, for those who need it.
believe it or not, not everyone has this level of freedom in the world. equally irritating are people who say "you make your own destiny in life". This is only true providing you have the oppertunity in the first place. its insulting as it implies people who are suffering.oppressed deserve it for not making the effort. fucked up.
1984 my eye. have you even fucking read it?

i dont think the government has a clear understanding of IDM, so they would probably not understand a single word of what we're saying

really, not that one have to say nothing if there's really something to be worried, but be worried about a fucking social newtwork.. if you don't like the way they manage it just get the fuck out of it no? a gossip that i've heard some time ago and one that i might be more worried about is that the london police 'spies' the tourists from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave the city, but then again.. won't be such news i think.
