Speaking as someone who runs an IRC server:
a) how do they propose to implement this? I assume they're targeting AIM/MSN, so will mandate updates of the clients?
b) how do I get to be a technical consultant to advise on this, since clearly it's thousands of quid to tell the government what they want to hear without bothering to think about it?
c) how do they propose to monitor private one-on-one chats (IRC DCC, AIM client-to-client chat?)
Another government policy to garner votes.
