Australia Passes Mandatory Data Retention Law
Bismillah writes Opposition from the Green Party and independent members of parliament wasn't enough to stop the ruling conservative Liberal-National coalition from passing Australia's new law that will force telcos and ISPs to store customer metadata for at least two years. Journalists' metadata is not exempted from the retention law, but requires a warrant to access. The metadata of everyone else can be accessed by unspecified government agencies without a warrant however.
Mandatory Systemd laws, a fight to the death between UNIX philosophy warriors. Jihadists unite and commence WWIII, Chinamen mad from lack of womens' loins attack India. US Government folds, tech bubble bursts. No one doesn't have a day they once want to watch the world burn! Russia drops nuclears and blows up everything. The amazons are destroyed. From the ashes, arise the hackers and the makers of the maker community. Secret underground ruby dojos 3d printing a new day. Mark Zuckerbarg and Larry page emerge from the underground, and build their Utopia of sociopathic free communication Facebook driven based on distributed social netowrks, everyone wears Google glass and all ferried by Self driving EV1's as the left were able to SAVE THE ELECTRIC CAR. The women in tech pick up the sword of their slain evil oppressor manchildren engineers. Alas, a Dicedot Utopia.
