EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer

bs0d3 writes "EU MEP Tiziano Motti (Italy), wants everything you do online to be logged and saved, for the sake of the children. Like a black box installed on every computer. He proposes an early warning system of criminal activity, specifically whenever an image of sexually abused children is detected, an alarm, goes to the authorities to be able to see who uploaded it. Tiziano Motti was a politician who just over a year ago managed to get a majority of European Members of Parliament to support the proposal to expand the data storage directive to Google searches. The purpose was to protect children from pedophiles — the same excuse he is using now. His proposal involves a technology called Logbox. And just as with an aircraft's black box, Logbox is installed on computers, laptops, smartphones, and e-readers because yes, all that can be connected to the internet."

    Such a contradiction in terms. Christianity is not democratic. When was the last time God ran for election?

    This came as a shock coming fresh on the heels of being promoted to a human from a myth some years earlier.

    I wonder what country you herald from? Whatâ(TM)s your countryâ(TM)s worst historical figure? How about I compare you to that person?

    I'm Canadian, and I think we've already apologised enough for Celine Dion.
