Putting a tinfoil hat on will also help. 

Are you really doing things so bad that you're concerned about people who you don't know finding out about it?  Seriously?

Unless you've lived in an igloo at the north pole from birth  you might just as well join in/stop worrying/ignore the paranoia , as long as you take reasonable precautions to protect your online financial transactions and are not doing anything you shouldn't be doing.

I think this will just save them the hassle of applying for a warrant to check the information.. Speeds up their access to the info and therefore will probably catch a lot more people in the act.. Remember we aren't talking about you looking at thaibrides.com... This is about terrorism and the likes.. Come on people!

Yeah, course its all about terrorism.  Its about fines...its about corporations losing money due to D/L.  Its about organisation of mob demonstration such as the last riots and the use Facebook and the like provided.  Yet we agree with the middle east using Facebook to mass organise and overthrow...wonder what would happen if we did all wear these and go to the Houses of Parliament and over throw them

Oh really?  You must lead a very interesting life and think you are different, special and unique.  Like a snowflake.

and the more you think you are a beautiful and unique snowflake that people 'in power' are concerned about, the more you're going to become less like Tyler Durden.

To be honest, given the current intelligent advertisement targeting thinks that I'm going to buy Graze boxes and start to use Get Support IT support and that's about the sum total of my activities online I'm less concerned about this sort of thing than most.  Why? On the basis that if that's as smart as advertising gets (which is most of what this stuff is about) then it doesn't know sh*t about what goes on in my head.
