Links and more information

Just a note on perspective, here. I quite like the idea of the intelligence services intercepting the communications of terrorists and organised criminals. Best of luck to them. And if they snoop on my emails occasionally as part of the war effort, I'll live with that. So you won't find links here to the kind of sites that see the intelligence services as unadulterated evil.

Carnivore - the FBI want to get this bugging email business sorted out once and for all.

Microsoft didn't really put a backdoor into browsers so the NSA could snoop. Or did it?

The authorities don't get things all their own way. The Internet is a great way to publish mischievous anti-establishment information, as the British authorities have found to their cost.
