I’ve often said there’s little privacy left these days, specially on the web. Dan comments over at the Center for Citizen Media Blog on a recent NYTimes article:

“It is all being couched in the guise of protecting children, of course, the refuge governments use to justify these moves. It is another — huge — step toward a pervasive surveillance society.” – Surveillance of Everything You Do

This is my favorite part from the article,

“It [Justice Department] also wants the Internet companies to retain records about whom their users exchange e-mail with, but not the contents of e-mail messages, the executives said. The executives spoke on the condition that they not be identified, because they did not want to offend the Justice Department.”

Ugh.
