| Message | This act will harm the privacy and rights of Rutanians. |
| Date | 14:54:03, November 11, 2005 CET | From |  RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Internet Safety Act 2139 |
| Message | The only thing that can harm Rutanians is that child abusers can freely use the internet because the police can't even use it to collect evidence for an investigation! This does not mean that the police can freely read chatboxes and e-mails (both of which fall under the confidentiality of letters), but that they can access the internet to track for signs of child abuse! |
| Date | 18:42:28, November 11, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Internet Safety Act 2139 |
| Message | This doesnt allow the police to invade peoples' privacy, just read what they themselves choose to put into the public domain. |
