Funny, yesterday Tom and me were talking about the impossibility of creating a webpage that doesn't log a thing, thus being the only page on the internet that doesn't invade your privacy. But apparently the capital city of my country, Brussels, decided there is still too much privacy, by signing an agreement with the most privacy invading country in the world: the United States of America, you might have heard of it.

This agreement currently affects only people in Great Britain, but I wouldn't be too surprised if the whole European Union is affected too, soon enough. The actual law in short:

American authorities will be able to obtain greater access to private information such as credit card transactions, internet browsing habits and travel histories of people in Britain under a deal being finalised by European Union officials.

According to the agreement, it's only accessible if you are handling with a specific purpose, but that doesn't mean shit. They will still search through all your data you have generated in their logs.
