My Way News - UK: Surveillance devices to monitor Web traffic
My Way News reports: "The U.K. plans to install an unspecified number of spy devices along the country's telecommunications network to monitor Britons' use of overseas services such as Facebook and Twitter, according to a report published Tuesday by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee. The devices - referred to as 'probes' in the report - are meant to underpin a nationwide surveillance regime aimed at logging nearly everything Britons do online, from Skype calls with family members to visits to pornographic websites. The government argues that swift access to communications data is critical to the fight against terrorism and other high-level crime."

Comment: This shows you what can happen in a country without a written constitution or a bill of rights.
