There goes privacy
It seems what we do on the computer is slowly becoming everyones business as the train that was our right to privacy slowly drifts off into the sunset.
Regardless of what you think the Labor government is doing with economics or anything else, they are quickly developing a bad reputation for dealing with modern communications, things like the NetFilter and now the Qld Labor govt. giving police more rights to look at anything they want… Not doing too well at this stage.
FEARS have been raised about police abusing new phone-tapping powers to snoop on social networking sites such as Facebook and private emails.
Leading criminal lawyer Jim Coburn accused the State Government of “fudging” the scope of the telephone intercept powers, which start this year.
“(Police) will have authority to eavesdrop on communications, be they speech, music or sounds, data, text, images or signals,” Mr Coburn said.
