Oasis Forms "Lawful Intercept" XML Committee

Posted by Hemos on from the what-the-hobbes-is-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Oasis has announced the formation of the Lawful Intercept XML Technical Committee. The announcement refers to it as a "universal global framework for supporting rapid discovery and sharing of suspected criminal and terrorist evidence by law enforcement agencies." It's not really clear if this is supposed to aid in information exchange about suspicious activities/individuals, or 'intercepting' in the sense of eavesdropping, or what exactly."

    I had no idea Liam and Noel were XML literate. THAT'S why you can't understand Noel... he hasn't released his DTD.

    Lawful Intercept XML Technical Committee.
    Aha! Your use of non-valid XML is in breach of the DMCA! Your entire possessions are to be seized and you will be shipped off to Guatameno Bay!

    I suppose there will be a click through agreement:

    "I agree not to use this technology to spy on CEOs to determine when to sell my stock. I also agree not to use this technology to spy on my SO, neighbors, or to get juicy blackmail bits on the person who cut me off this morning on the way to work."

    Of course, with the FBI's proven track record, they'll just hit I Agree and do it anyway.

    if the FBI and CIA had the authority to intercept e-mails using the [terrorist] XML tag.

    Curse you liberals and your "bill of rights"! How many more people have to die before you let go of your precious "freedoms"?
