Yahoo Issues Takedown Notice for Spying Price List

,----[ Quote ]
| Yahoo isnât happy that a detailed menu of 
| the spying services it provides law 
| enforcement agencies has leaked onto the 
| web.
| 
| Shortly after Threat Level reported this 
| week that Yahoo had blocked the FOIA 
| release of its law enforcement and 
| intelligence price list, someone provided a 
| copy of the companyâs spying guide to the 
| whistleblower site Cryptome.
| 
| The 17-page guide describes Yahooâs data 
| retention policies and the surveillance 
| capabilities it can provide law 
| enforcement, with a pricing list for these 
| services. Cryptome also published lawful 
| data-interception guides for Cox 
| Communications, SBC, Cingular, Nextel, GTE 
| and other telecoms and service providers.

Labour minister says 14 year olds should get ID cards

,----[ Quote ]
| A government minister has spoken glowingly of the prospect of kids as young
| as six handing over their biometrics as she boasted that the Tories and
| LibDems would find it impossible to unpick the governmentâs ID card scheme.
