Every Phone Call, Every E-Mail, Every Internet Use Collected
Look What's Happening In The U.K.
This is already being done here, and Sprint has had every phone call listened to by paid employees for many years.
Giant phone, email database plan for U.K.
A private company could be asked to run a huge database containing details of everybody's telephone calls, emails and internet use, it has been reported.
The option to tender out the management of the database will be included in a consultation paper to be published next month, according to the Guardian.
The Home Office said police had to keep up with technical advances and there would be wide consultation on the plan.
Critics, however, say it poses a serious threat to civil liberties.
Former director of public prosecutions Sir Ken Macdonald reiterated his opposition to the plan in light of the Guardian's report, dismissing official claims that additional legal assurances would ensure the information is not misused.
He told the paper: "All history tells us that reassurances like these are worthless in the long run. In the first security crisis the locks would loosen."
The database, which critics claim would cost up to £12bn, is not intended to record the content of communications, but only the details of internet sites visited and what emails and telephone calls have been made, to whom and at what times.
Currently the information has to be requested from communications companies and internet service providers, but it is not always readily available.
A Home Office spokesman said: "The communications revolution has been rapid in this country and the way in which we collect communications data needs to change so that law enforcement agencies can maintain their ability to tackle serious crime and terrorism.
"To ensure that we keep up with technological advances we intend to consult widely on proposals in the New Year.
"We have been very clear that there are no plans for a database containing the content of emails, texts or conversations."
