UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains

Stoobalou writes "British Police forces could soon have the power to seize any domain associated with criminal activity, under new proposals published today by UK domain registrar Nominet. At present, Nominet has no clear legal obligation to ensure that .uk domains are not used for criminal activities. That situation may soon change, if proposals from the Serious and Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) are accepted."

TFA - So your definition of a sophisticated mind does not encompass one that can deal with murdered children, mob control, terrorism or any other of the myriad issues a modern police officer has to deal with.. in your world if you are not IT savvy you are a "simpleton"? What an infantile, one dimensional little mind that you have. Grow up, fool.

LOL... Take care, AC, you'll run pretty quick of straws at the rate you are building your arguments.

Let's see. I don't know what Fitwatch is about, but I imagine:

• if Fitwatch are non-legit, the british police does a pretty crappy job not going to arrest them and just (ineffectively) trying to silence them. Does it seem to you as a very sophisticated and grown up approach from their side? Addressing a manifestation and not the cause of the problem?
• if Fitwatch are just "speech criminals", defending the british police in their actions doesn't seem to me as being a grown-up reaction from your side, mate. Or is the IngSoc starting to become a reality already?
