Berners-Lee Says No To Internet Snooping 113
Jack Spine writes "The inventor of the World Wide Web has pointed out some of the dangers of deep packet inspection. Sir Tim said that ISPs 'snooping' on data was similar to the interception of mail. 'This is very important to me, as what is at stake is the integrity of the internet as a communications medium,' Berners-Lee said on Wednesday. TBL's comments come as the UK government is gearing up to intercept all web communications in the UK through the Intercept Modernisation Programme, and echo comments he made last year about Phorm."

Its a typo. It should read "word wide". TBL invented the word "wide" because prior to then most things were narrow.

Which side are you on: CONTROL or KAOS? That is the question. The Government can only answer that question if it can intercept your communications. Are you going to let them? Can you stop them? Do you care?
All I can say is that you should Get Smart!

Yeah, I used to do this...
Then I lost the key due to a hard drive and floppy disk failure within the same week (wow, that dates this a bit...)
Now I have these wonderful encrypted documents that contain proof of alien intervention with the history of our planet and I can't get at it anymore...
D*MN YOU GRAYS!!!

Just mail a copy of each one to yourself at another account and someone will decrypt them for you. I can't tell you who, I've already told you too much and I'm afraid awi3qu91 108OI)
