<div dir="ltr">Thing is... I can't help feeling that any government attempt for data retention could be challenged in the courts.<div><br></div><div>The stupid thing is, they are only proposing a record of the communication, not the communication itself - as another example used, it is keeping a copy of the letters envelope, but not what is inside... how useless in proving anything.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Should the legislation ever actually come in, the requirements for ISPs to suddenly keep this information would be extremely cost intensive, which is a basis for a challenge in itself.</div><div><br></div>
<div>If the government was going to succeed doing this, they will need a much longer term approach. If I was them I would introduce ISP licensing, and get everyone to move to it over a few years, then introduce requirements over time.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Problem for us is that they (the Government) come from a position of strength in that it is easy for them to justify what they want to do by using the badness on the internet as their argument "We need to license ISPs so that child molesters are stopped and business practices are maintained' using examples of the ISPs who have failed and so on. Many countries do license ISPs as well... So they have the ammunition... and all we have is a privacy and freedom argument.</div>
