Who is this MI4 of whom you speak? :-) In very broad terms, UK to USA equivalents would be as follows: GCHQ = NSA MI5 = FBI (though the FBI has a much wider remit) SIS (sometimes erroneously referred to as MI6) = CIA On 11/10/13 2:37 pm, Seth Mos wrote:
In .NL all large ISPs have a mandatory wiretap in place that stores datetime stamped headers of the internet traffic for discovery purposes from the authorities. The best part of this, it is paid for by the customers, since the ISP needs to pay for the system and storage.
There have been attempts to do similar in the UK, but ISPA (our industry body) has fought pretty hard against it. It seems to have died for now, but I've no doubt that future governments (or home secretaries) will try and resurrect it at every possible opportunity.
