From what I understand, Google already does that anyway. But yeah, I heard about this on the radio this evening. Nasty stuff. Darn well means I can’t secretly watch those raunchy videos any more. Damn! :lol:

No different to any other country, the UK retains peoples information (by law) :frowning:

Shame we can’t just solve the problem by using a proxy and open DNS server… :stuck_out_tongue:
