Cops Setting Up Big Brothers In Cyber Cafes In Kochi

Here is one for all those fans of Kochivibe whose goes to cafe’s just to read our updates.! (We might be pushing it a bit) :D . If you are one of those very few people who actually go to cafe’s to ‘surf ‘ ( ;) ) you might be concerned to hear that cops are setting up softwares at Cyber Cafes throughout Cochin, that is snooping on your activities on the computer! Things are getting stricter at cyber cafes. Earlier cafes were advised to install cameras and collect details of the customer and record it. As if THAT was not enough, you now have a computer software that tells the cops what you do online! However, this massive intrusion of privacy is reasoned. Growing terrorism threats is just one half of the story. Online scams, wealth transaction frauds, identity thefts and hacking cases are on the rise in the city.

    Whatever the reason maybe none has the right to intrude into another person’s privacy without a valid solid reason.

    “growing terrrism threats is just one half of the story???” how do they do anythng like that online? .. by sending emails? lol .. This is just a curtain or a silly reason to validate the police to look into our personal lives. Giants like Google wants all the info about people. They are greedy for information and they make profile people according to their searchs and so on. The Chrome browser issue was one evident event that proved their intrusion into private lives of people.

    Vipul, You aint just an idiot. You are also ignorant. Did i miss idiot? lol.! The software is created by a Bangalore based IT firm for the ‘cops‘. What gave you the idea it is a google product. Where did we even mention google? We suspect you suffer from some kind of a learning disability where you cant understand what you read. But Its not all that bad. You are entertaining us with all your dumbness! Keep your pearls of wisdom flowing mate.! :D

    Loving It,

    ^^^ Really? Did you recently read on the news about the thing between google and China on encroachment of certain google email accounts? I dont know but to me it seems like google does take intrusion in people’s private information seriously! Who do you have a problem with ? The police? Google?
    “they make profile people according to their searchs” they make profile people?? OMG!!! First test tube babies and now profile people!Dont use google services if you thing they break into your privacy!
    Its like someone saying I hate jalapeno’s its too hot! Have some eastern chilli powder boy….that wont be too spicy (eastern being a more tame service provider for our friend here)
    I wonder what kind of weird-ass childhood you had.
