Title: Another country begins internet spying on citizens
Post by: Xeen on 13 May 2004, 17:29
Following China's example, Vietnam is now going to start spying and tracking everything its citizens do online. A new law also prohibits people from posting anti-government stuff online.

Article (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1212&e=1&u=/ap/20040513/ap_on_hi_te/vietnam_internet_restrictions&sid=95573501)

Do you think we'll ever see something like this happen here in the US?

Unfortunately, yes. We've been spied on since a long time ago, I'm afraid. And Canada is just as guilty, I'm sorry to say.

Here's some more info about the Carnivore system:

It sure is, look at this;

Also, the US have been kind enough to make us (UK) the first target of anyone wishing to attack them with an ICBM.
The 'fake' RAF base at Fylingdales (http://cndyorks.gn.apc.org/fdales/index.htm) is the key to their protection from ICBM launched from Europe/Middle East/Russia. Great for us - we get nuked, they get warned   :rolleyes:  
This fake RAF base (because it is really US intelligence) has such powerful RF that it interferes with alarms and other equipment within a mile radius or something, maybe more.

Another example of the pussifaction of the United Kingdom and subservience to the States, thanks to our *wonderful* leader, Prime Minister blair.
