Comment Diverted minds (Score 1) 186
Is an issue such as this one diverting Australian computer/Internet users minds from other real Australian computer issues? Sure, this may represent a slight invasion of privacy by ASIO. Yet it is hardly different to what already goes on with police search warrants. How often would a power like this be used? Any information that ASIO would be interested in would not be stored on a public server, instead, to gain this information, the Australian government would just follow avenues which are already in place to physically obtain the machines they wish. This issue is diverting Austrlians from the Internet Censorship issue which will be in place in less than a month now.
