"there are palns for multiple stores instead"!?!
they fear us - that's the issue.
As has been said ~ the same data will be collected nd stored, just not in the same place for now. The state can, at its leasure, and in more politically expedient times, simply gather this data together in a single database.
All this announcement does is shift the costs onto the ISP's. It does nothing to improve civil liberties.
Saving money? Or are these bastards now listening?
And when its stored, just how much casual access will the Police have? Won't be long before they're insisting they have a direct feed to the ISP's stored data.
So no scary big government database... just lots of privately financed (via hugely increased broadband changes) and largely unaccountable databases which the Feds can peep at their leisure.
No one can pretend we have a free society now. Welcome to 1984!
