Hi all,

I recently read in an article somewhere (in www), and if my memory is correct, it says something to this meaning, that every internet providers deploy some special software system whereby it monitors your web activities (like sites being visited, googling, etc.) and email transactions (searching for some special keywords in the body-text, subjects etc.). It seems many public sector communication companies (government owned/supported) or corporate companies who provide internet services, records your actions at their web-server.

1) How far this is true or is it just another internet-hoax or rumour?

2) Technically, is it possible for such providers to monitor so? Why because, logically, the cyberspace is so vast-and-wide and how can it be monitored, if they are providing, say, 5000+ connections?

3) I think in some way, maybe it is good to avoid unwanted elements using internet as a mean, but is it a form of cyber-harassing for good civilians when they are being monitored or overwatched constantly?

What do you think? Please share your opinions.

Thanks anyway,

Have a nice day,

Regards,
Vijay

i don't worry about it, take precautions when using the computer.

it's dangerous to drive a car too but most people live with it.
