If you are concerned about being wrongly accused of a crime, then may I suggest that you find an ISP that offers to retain details about your private life as part of a retention service?
Me, I am concerned about leaks and would rather not being treated like a criminal without a court order.
I have heard opinions that data retention is not an invasion of privacy since a court order is needed to grant access to the data. I say that since I am not suspected of a crime, then government have no business ordering my ISP and telco to intrude on my privacy. I would rather not have my location registered every time I make a phone call (as the proposed data retention law here in Sweden would have it), and if my government decides to blatantly disregard my right to privacy, then I am left with no choice but to stop using the internet and telephony to safeguard my person.
