LOG: Information Awareness For All

http://log=2Ev2=2Enl


Under the pretext of the War Against Terror the United States,
the EU and other countries worldwide want to make greater use
of communication LOG files=2E

The Pentagon's Information Awareness Office aims to develop
a global computer-surveillance system that sifts through "ultra-
large" data warehouses andwould give government the power to
generate a comprehensive data profile on any U=2ES=2E citizen=2E

The EU is about to make "data retention" not only possible but
obligatory=2E Telephone and Internet companies should gather
personal data relative to the electronic communication of all
citizens=2E

We invite you to take action against this development=2E

In protest against un-supervised powers of secret agencies KOP
makes available LOG files in a time limited enaction of counter
log-piracy=2E Secretive states within states should not have un-
supervised powers, or they should not have them alone=2E KOP
makes logging a public pastime and empowers participants to
take their self-monitoring into their own hands=2E
