I just read this article about Canadian ISPs being opened up to police monitoring of the communications through them.

I was just wondering about the implications to us non-Canadian users of a Canadian website. Theoretically, all our information given on this site could be stored in a police file somewhere. Or available for police scrutiny. All your statements concerning downloading and copying music and video files, your references to gigabytes of "SPECIAL" files, etc. Personally, I'm not too concerned about it. But the opportunity for abuse is there.
What do y'all think?
