well to start at face value it is breach to the right of privacy.

secondly it does not prove conspiracy. we shall take the rocks metaphor again.

bill and ben talk about throwing rocks through people's windows. (not guilty of anything yet). they make a plan to do this (still not guilty). they get a big bag of rocks. (they are now guilty.)

in a parallel universe one day bill and ben randomly decide one day to collect rocks for fun. they are not guilty here.

searching the internet for anything that is legal. is well..... legal. i've looked at various bomb making guides. i've discussed guerilla warfare with people, economic and electrical terrorism and the effects there of. not because i am some mad terrorist. but i fear one day it may occour that such knowledge may need to be implemented. but curently i am guilty of nothing. i have commited no crime. when i start stocking up on fertilizer then i will be guilty. until then i am innocent.

this law kinda infringes on that a little.

i would hate to have some MI5 man at my door for looking at such materials.

the internet was made with the idea of free information.

nowadays if you stick "national security" or "to prevent terrorism" every breach of human rights seems to be okay for some people. this is not so. "for the protection of the people and the state" was gorunds for the nazis, do not allow it to be grounds for the american government.
