UK Gov't Proposes Massive Internet Snooping, Data Storage

Slashdoted story on PC Pro UK:
The Government will store "a billion incidents of data exchange a day" as details of every text, email and browsing session in the UK are recorded under new proposals published yesterday.

The information will be made available to police forces in order to crack down on serious crime, but will also be accessible by local councils, health authorities and even Ofsted and the Post Office.
