Re: Why not on the job centre screens?

Look at you being all logical and shit! :)

It's a fine plan if the Job Centre was there to help people claiming JSA back into work, but it's not.

The Job Centre is there to get people off JSA by any means necessary.

We don't see why you wouldn't want to [let advisors track you]

Why wouldn't I want an unaccountable government official keeping track of what I'm doing?

And don't get me started on the whole thing about not applying for "suitable" jobs. Who are they to know what's suitable for me?

I seriously hope that I'm never out of work again. Ever.

Why aren't these data breaches considered criminal matters?

AFACT wants ushers to confront pirates

Crisp
WTF?

Why are they trying to make this the Ushers problem

It's not like the ushers have a multi-billion dollar interest in this. Why should they have to police movie goers and potentially put themselves in harms way to protect rich actors, producers and directors?

Won't ISP's still have to record communications between your PC and the first TOR node?

That's a lot of useless junk that they'll have to hold onto for a year.

I'm half tempted to run a TOR internal node just to generate extra traffic if they ever get this bill into the commons.
