According to a recent report, the UK government is demanding logs of where people go on the Internet and who they e-mail, to the tune of a million snooping inquiries a year.
The Home Office has disputed the claim, saying they actually only snoop half a million times every year.
Clearly the government wouldn’t snoop on people without good reason, so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before (say) 10,000 criminals will be apprehended in a massive sweep.
