Day firm on police warrants for access to internet user data

Public safety ministry recently announced that they would not introduce legislation forcing internet service providers to give customer information without a warrant.

This is extremely shocking to me - not because they denied the legislation but because someone would even think of allowing personal data to be given out without as much as a warrant. I am extremely happy that they did not introduce the legislation because that would be a severe invasion of privacy. It is disgusting that people would want to have personal information given out that easily. This is a growing trend around the world, people want to be in control of whatever is happening on the internet. They are, essentially, control Freaks. Another example of this trend is Microsoft recently issued updates to its Operating systems secretly despite if the user had updates turned on or off.

This is an awful trend and needs to stop.
