The front-page of Yesterday’s Sunday Times reported that the government intends to require the production of a passport by anyone purchasing a mobile phone. They want to know who owns every phone used in the UK, so that they can electronically keep watch on all of us, all of the time.
Even when no call is being made, mobile phones send out a signal to the nearest telephone towers, making it possible to work out the phones' location. The government intends to link this information with the police station, to make keeping watch on us a little bit easier. The government also intends to build a new database which will store the details of every single electronic communication made in the UK.
It really makes me wonder what kind of a country we are living in. Instead, the government should say that only the bad people have anything to fear and that unless we have something to hide, we should all use mobile phones happily, safe in the knowledge that Big Brother is on the side of the angels. That’s the excuse that all wrong use, and I don’t expect our ones to be any different.
