store users' browsing histories for one yea
1984 --- I'd like to see more opinions on this! Storing our browsing history is alarming, don't you think? Can someone elaborate the difference of our personal thought-process and the browsing history (probably we browse things related to our thought-process, our unique interests, our political affiliation, our cultural interests, music, sport, tech, literature, entertainment, whatever). Many times, we scroll and open staff that is not our particular personal interest. I might open a news article related to terrorist acts in the Middle East or in France/Belgium in order to read what happened there and to be informed (but the LEA or security guys might think I am a radicalized individual)... Is this even constitutional? Storing our browsing history (although we all know that it is being done) is like storing our daily lives and outsourcing that data to another third party (that is not even part of our closer family). Then, who guarantees that the stored data is not also analyzed/processed for whatever (other than security) reasons? Not to mention the legal terms of apps such as Viber/What's up/Messenger apps that ask for and receive access to all of our contacts/photos/storage files in our mobile phones
