MP calls for an Internet "bill of rights" against Big Brother Google, Facebook...

"Private companies seem to have acquired the right to photograph what goes on in people's gardens. That is a dangerous shift, because if no one has any right to privacy, we will soon be living - dare I say it? - with a privatised version of Big Brother run by some of the internet companies. That is the scenario slowly creeping up on us. I say that because many of my observations today will focus on Google's activities, such as street-mapping, accessing people's personal wi-fi addresses, and-as we learned from newspapers and Google's official blog a few days ago-the harvesting of personal e-mail addresses and passwords." Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. The blogosphere’s anger at Google is misplaced...
  2. IT worker jailed for stealing data...
  3. Big Brother Britain to snoop on calls and clicks...
  4. Welcome to GPS Big Brother America...
  5. By 2017, all of us will be micro-chipped cattle...
