If it was the ISP doing the data collecion, they would have to hold records of every single webpage ever vistited by all their users - and that still wouldn't include the records of which addresses a user emailed if they used a https webmail server in another country. There would only be a record of visiting that server. This all sounds ever so slightly insane....

its freaky - but technologically, I don't think it will affect us. It seems to be at the users broadband connection end that this data is gathered.
