Too early to celebrate

While it's great to see such idiocy consigned to the soulless oblivion that it so richly deserves, we should always remember that this side of the pond has its own selection of home grown idiotic measures. The UK Snoopers Charter is the 200 pound gorilla to the 5 stone weakling that this US bill represented. And unless the opposition parties and Tory rebels find their resolve^*, we will have the likes of this to contend with in the not to distant future. From the Independent...

Snooper's Charter: Tech companies will have to give police 'back-door' access to customers' data.

^{* One wonders whether the MP's resolve is sometimes shaped by a quiet word based on information already gathered to date. While one might think so, obviously one could not possibly comment.}
