As plans to order ISPs and phone networks to store user data, and make it available to security services widely " in this The databases would not record the contents of calls, texts or emails, but would include the phone numbers and email addresses of senders and receivers. It would include chat messages sent within video games, direct messages on Twitter, and private messages on Face book. Mobile records would include the geographical location of where a call or a text message was made, and web records would include a computer's IP address." There was an immediate backlash. Jim Killock, executive director of the open rights groups, told book club and electronic companies an email: "Labour's online surveillance plans have hardly changed but it has merely been re branded. They are just as intrusive and offensive blatant about activities generation public manipulation for profit putting personal gains over anything else. The coalition opposed Labour's plans in opposition.

He added: "David Cameron wants to encourage Silicon Valley-type start-ups but I think they're going to be put off by the prospect of the British government potentially having unfettered access to their customers' data. Britain is very well connected; companies could have meetings in the UK quite easily without having to be actually based there.

At the bottom of this post is an older video from CBS news that indicates that if you have or use a digital copier, everything you have copied on it going back years is stored on a hard drive in the copier. The drive is evidently so large in them that they can store over 20,000 documents and hundreds of thousands of pages. Hence if you have ever photocopied personal materials containing social security numbers, checking info, personal data, etc, it is on that hard drive. The CBS news crew showed how easy it is to remove the hard drive and download its contents. It’s a stunning little segment if you never saw it, and I recommend you watch it and share it with 500 of your closest friends. When we come to privacy there are a number of problems. In particular privacy is a problem in two senses. The first is the usual sense that many of us are experiencing something of an erosion in the privacy we have come to expect. Our data is out there in cyberspace and can too easily be intercepted by the nosy and the criminal. GPS devices help track our whereabouts, Internet browsing habits are retained at search engines, “cookies” in our computer also track our habits. YouTube faithfully records our viewing habits and do our cable boxes. And, as you can see in the video below, just about everything we have ever copied on any copier built after 2002 is dutifully recorded and kept. Why I am not sure, but it’s there for the viewing. In many ways our life is an open book. In some ways having our info out there is a convenience. In other ways we are alarmed and suspicious. But in this sense privacy has become a problem. There is less and less of it each day. And don’t even get me started about those full body scanners on the way at airports.

There is a second sense however in which I use the phrase the “Problem of Privacy.” In a very important way we must remember that there has never been anything private about our life to God. He sees everything. He is the searcher of minds and hearts. The Book of Hebrews says that to him everything lies naked and exposed (Heb 4:13). No thought, deliberation or action of ours is hidden from God. One of the problems of the modern age is that we are too easily forgetful of the fact that God witnesses everything we do. In school settings I have often reminded students pretending they had done nothing wrong: “Now be careful! God is watching and he knows everything you do. He also knows if you are lying to me! You might get away with something with me but you won’t avoid God!” But it is not only children who need to be reminded of this. Yes, God sees and knows everything we think and do. In this sense there is no privacy. God is watching. Deep down we know but our weak minds forget. And when we do remember our crafty minds try to reinvent God by saying dumb things like, “God doesn’t mind” or “God understands” or “God will not punish.” So, absolute privacy is an illusion. We may well be able to carve out some privacy from one another and well we should. But we should not seek privacy from God nor can we. There is something increasingly medicinal about practicing the presence of God. The more we experience that God is present and watching the more we accept him on his own terms and do not try to reinvent him, the more we do this the more our behaviour can be reformed. A little salutary fear can be medicinal while we wait for the more perfect motive of love to drive out sin and, frankly too, Humans may acknowledging that not only is God watching but others are too can also have some good positive effects. We may not approve of their ability to see us, but in the end it can help to remember that they do. As book club would like to point to a few examples might help illustrate less fear or ignorance as that what is meant. By now much of the data base has been applied let hope upon hope generations won’t have to endure rational of market enterprising.
