There is much talk at the moment about the so called Snoopers' Charter. One thing the powers that be want is to force all ISP's etc to store all emails for one year so that they can be read should the government think they have a need to. Grrr!! Also they want Firefox, Opera etc to store details of all the sites visited. I know that using the Tor browser, which I do have installed, should avoid all that nonsense about visited web sites. But I am wondering what effect, if any, would result from using a PVN of some sort. Would that help in any way? and, apart from encryption, what can anyone do about keeping emails private? Neil
