Get real
Já devia ter escrito algo sobre a obrigatoriedade de os ISP guardarem a informação de acesso e os "envelopes" dos e-mails durante um ano. MatosB já referiu parte do tremendo equívoco que tal legislação representa, levantando parte do véu sobre o que se encobre com um suposto reforço da segurança nacional e europeia (bullshit). Mas é mais fácil subscrever a peça brilhante de Bill Thompson para a BBC on line, que diz tudo e não deixa nada de fora: «Earlier this week, the Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, called on European countries to force internet service providers and phone companies to keep records of e-mails sent and phone calls made for at least a year.
He wants law enforcement agencies to be able to access the stored records when investigating crimes.
If he had suggested to the European Parliament that postal services should only accept envelopes that have the sender's address clearly written, and that every envelope should be scanned and stored to create a database of letter-post connections, he would be laughed out of town.
Yet there is no real difference between that and storing e-mail records. It is just that e-mail has a "from" field in it by default so it is easier to do without changing the way it looks to users.
If we are going to accept that the net is just part of the real world and not some mysterious "virtual space" where ordinary laws do not apply, then we have to be consistent about this.» (link)
À atenção do meu muito provavelmente amigo MatosB do Atuleirus.
