[kwlug-disc] "In the new Canada, the web browses you"

[unsolicited]

(Clipper chip, yeah, encryption - point for this thread merely being 
the ability to listen in.)

Mind you ... you're right ... with ssl (https) ... isn't listening in 
at the ISP all but pointless?

Thinking of the English riots, talk of BlackBerry sniffing whatever 
... just having a sense of the preponderance of data going somewhere, 
like a facebook site, and the ability to get to that site directly 
oneself, seems sufficient. No need to crack the data itself, just, 
where it's going. And if you see bad stuff (facebook), then you're 
listening for what's headed that way.

But with https://facebook....
