Good Idea...Im gonna dig myself a hole to live in... maybe not We live in One already
 
This is the primary reason why you never conduct very-important business over the phone and allways in person.

See how they can snoop you then.
 
duh!!! u want a bunch of people at the "Interception Centre" that cant even find kiddie porn downloaders. U gotta be joking!. I can see the monitoring centre with their Telkom sponsored 64K diginet line scrolling through data... get real!

Cummon... get real! ... This act is really a guise for something else..... it "OutLaws" encryption to avoid being sniffed.... ergo, you can use a GSM smartcard to encrypt data - so does that make Cell Phone SIM cards illegal too.

IIRC the ISP has to provide the line to the centre, which is BS in it own right.

Blooming hope not, if they think companies will have insecure VPN's running they are gonna get laughed at, more than they are now
 
At the end of the day it boils down to balancing a right to privacy and what is in the interests of the public. Does the public have a right to know what you are saying in your telephone conversation (etc)?

Personally I think this is an indication that South Africa is moving into the new century if it can 'manage' to gather this intelligence effectively.
 
The interception bill is good AND bad in the same light ... If its to protect me from kiddie porn/terrorists/evil syndicates then its for good. BUT if its used for DA/ANC/PAC slandering matches, then its a destructive bill.

the NIA cant manage who is sending emails about Zuma... never mind collect inteligence.
 
this is a seriously loooooooong article. oh well with dial up, and limited usage there's not much to check.
 
Anyone determined to have their communications kept secret will be able to encrypt their communications so that the gov't won't be able to 'listen in', so to speak.
 
Most people agree that organised crime is one of the most serious threats to the country’s economy and people, and that government is duty-bound to fight it.

Somehow I just don't trust guavamint to crack down on criminals & thereby prevent crime, or at the very least find enough evidence to put criminals in prison & keep them there - how many times have criminals been pardoned due to guavamint's failure to build more prisons [just yesterday something about R800m suspiciously diverted away from building prisons] - the solution to prison overcrowding is to build more prisons - not let the criminals back out on the streets...

Now add to all that her Poisonous Ivyness trying to maintain a stranglehold over communications in SA - specifically all her delaying tactics to prolong Telkodemonopolies' de facto monopoly even further...

Guavamint's pet gargoyle, Telkodemonopolies, continually lies & cheats & steals, Telkodemonopolies appears to be exempt from any Corporate Governance requirements and is arguably the most corrupt extension of the guavamint Executive...

IMO guavamint cannot be trusted to play fair and target only suspected criminals - ordinary citizens will be in guavamint's crosshairs and the criminals will buy their way out of guavamint's crosshairs...

Who will be watching the watchers to make sure that the watchers aren't watching for their own personal gratification???

The problem is that encrypting one's emails etc, might just make guavamint take more interest - another incarnation of the infamous invisible 3rd force...
 
Well, as long as the Govt doesn't have anything concrete, what do child pornogrophers or organised criminals care?
