BBC: AOL, Earthlink Are 'Cooperating' With FBI
braddock writes: "The BBC is now reporting that 'The FBI is scouring e-mail accounts for clues as to who might have been behind the terror attacks' and that AOL and Earthlink have confirmed that they are cooperating with investigators. Earthlink maintains 'We're co-operating, but we're not installing any surveillance equipment on our networks.' AOL and Earthlink together have approximatey 36 million accounts. Scary how fast privacy can be compromised when the bulk of a country's e-mail services are centralized." I wonder which ISPs really are installing Carnivore, if not the two largest in the country. Maybe this means it's already in place?

Paraphrased, but essentially the viewpoint is that encryption crackdowns won't affect the average citizen. So there you have it.

carnivore & echelon are -already in use-.
if you're going to do ill shit, don't videotape it, and don't electronically broadcast any evidence of it... wireless or wired...
nothing is safe.
Fucking learn to use slashdot, moron.

i agree 100%. someone mod this up as high as it can go so everyone can read this and GIVE THE CIVIL LIBERTIES, POLICE STATE, RIGHT TO PRIVACY PARANOIA A FUKCING REST.
"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!!!"
(In case you didn't notice while watching 100 hours of CNN during the last 4 days, bin Laden's group is called "The Base".)
