The UK passed a similar bill last year I believe, what next? Are we really moving towards a Big Brother society?

You're missing the bigger picture. You're assuming those big companies that provide you with a service don't already know what sites you go to. If you think it's creating a Big Brother society, guess again pal, it already is. This is just letting them sell that information to make money. It could very well be anonymous data that they sell, or it could come and go directly from the user. Either way, you'll still use the internet, you'll still adhere to their privacy policy, you still won't read the damn thing, and you'll still give up all of your privacy without noticing anyway. What are you worried about? You think that by talking about breaches in privacy that it'll magically make your presence private? Wrong friend. I wrote an article about privacy. You might not have read it. http://dbzf.co.uk/topic/10004115/1/#new If you just read the article, click this: https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=%22Tim+likes+S%27mores+Poptarts+and+Peanut+Butter+M%26M%27s+%22&* You're welcome.

This allows corporations to make more money off our data and is a gateway towards more bills like it being made, if not just because money. Nothing is truly private on the internet of course but typically it can't be used against you, you're safe in that regard unless you're up to something really terrible like terrorism but how long before the slider on what's terrible enough to warrant legal action is lowered to infringe on personal freedom?

That's a direct contradiction. ...how? People can see what you've been looking at on the internet but they're not allowed to do anything about it unless it's pretty serious. You can watch all the porn in the world and be fine so long as it's not extreme. So what happens when the bar for what is considered serious enough is lowered, if you want to watch porn it better be a straight married couple only doing missionary. Sodomy is sin. Or we could have people getting fined for talking s*** on the internet, like saying they hope Trump gets assassinated. Now that sure seemed like a slippery slope years ago but as more bills like this get passed all over then that slope is getting pretty lubed up and politicians are only going to care when they can't dodge the invasions, which is usually a convenient stipulation.

I ♥ Yoeri Posts: 20,075 Group: Legend Member #8,985 Joined: February 7, 2013 Country Japan	I'm not worried. I haven't done anything ilegal. A big brother internet society is already a thing. Microsoft are watching you steps, Google are watching your steps. A bill like this isn't gonna change anything aside from making it official.

If privacy is changing then consequences are likely to as well. If people can buy others internet history what stops them smearing anyone who pisses them off? You should be free to look at whatever you want on the internet so long as it doesn't hurt anyone, now what you look at is more readily available to be used to hurt you. Alright for people who don't look at anything weird but what about people that do? Screw them?
