India Goes the USA way…

Well a few months ago I read a article in www.rediff.com stating India is 50 years beyond USA. But the Mumbai police have decided to bridge the 50 years gap and they didn’t stop there they are way ahead of US atleast a few years ahead.

Well here is the story Mumbai police will monitor all Internet communications in and out of Internet cafes in Mumbai. All communications will be stored in a centralized server and available to Cyber crime department of Police. There is no exception yo can’t escape the long arms of Law and  the big boss will always watch you.

According to me this isn’t going to prevent terrorism but it will certainly will be useful for post criminal investigation. Moreover

• why an Innocent citizens communication have to be monitored just because he can’t afford to buy his own computer or Internet connection at home?
•  So how long before some one is going to bribe and get info about a specific user?  You people know the drill.
• With Indian banks preferring Online banks over personalized banks more and more people will start using Internet cafes. So will Mumbai police not atleast store communications between banking web sites and user..?
• With already Internet scams showing up on Internet with the help of wireless web cams and cafe owners,so how are the police going to make sure the communication between Internet cafe and Central server will not be breached. One day or the other some one is going to break it nothing is secure.

Beware people next thing they are going to monitor all phone calls through public phones.

I’m not going to browse in Mumbai if I’m there wait ,an better Idea will be not to use Internet at all. I wish I could do that but how can I ?that’s my bread winner. So people don’t be worried if you don’t know to use Internet be happy that you don’t know.

Thx
