Pakistan to implement the electronic surveillance -

The Government of Pakistan has raised serious privacy concerns this month, after giving telecommunications operators the country 0 days to implement a call and email monitoring program as part of a massive clamp down on freedom of expression, according to Pakistan News .

new legislation to enforce strict anti-blasphemy rules of the country will see any international communication logged and archived, with the authorities having access to the details of those who attempt to share or obscene material access or profane material on the web. Operators will install surveillance and recording equipment in their networks in late 2012 at a cost of millions of dollars. It will also threaten the ability of citizens to communicate freely with other nations.

systems designed to filter the international web traffic monitoring and incoming calls in Pakistan have been in place since 08, although the existing measures are not able to 15GB analysis of international incoming data. Current estimates of the amount of regular data flows 275gb, forcing the authorities to use private companies. The Pakistani government has already spent $ 10 million on monitoring equipment at its first series of restrictions.

The move follows the new suspicion attempts by the government to limit the Pakistani freedom of speech with the outside world, after the termination charge for incoming calls from abroad have been raised "levels without previous ", which means overseas calls were made more expensive. These developments in combination paint a disturbing picture of online privacy in Pakistan.

the censorship and surveillance measures such as they raise the important issue of privacy on the Internet, with several Eastern European countries attempt to crackdown on online free communication. for those looking to protect their freedom, a VPN provider may be an option ideal. using a VPN provider gives you a first line of defense against the snooping States and hackers, with all encrypted web traffic to ensure a better level of security. Your true identity and location will be hidden , making it more difficult for national authorities to guess what the content you access.
