The Communications Data Bill, suggested by UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, proposes that all UK residents’ mobile and Web communication should be stored by the ISPs and MSPs in a giant database for 12 months. Actual content of conversations would not be stored, just times and dates of e-mails and calls. However, storing information on visited websites is also mentioned, and if that’s not an invasion of privacy, I don’t know what is.
