  I don't think that they have evil intent, they are just out of touch and while at the moment it may not be abused in the future, it will be, power will always be abused.

  Treats everyone as a suspect, as if everyone is doing something wrong.
  
  Another step towards internet censorship, slowly the Government takes more and more control.

  Internet informs the masses
  Government fears informed masses
  Government tries to control the Internet
  Anyone who opposes them is a terrorist/criminal/pedophile
  
  We need the people of this country to organise themselves and make a stand against this otherwise Orwell's 1984 will be a reality.

  Does this concern you at all?

  Sometimes it just obfuscates matters.
