South Africa plans hardline Internet snooping legislation

Protest is growing in South Africa about the country's plan to introduce legislation that closely parallels the UK's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
South Africa's Interception and Monitoring Bill aims to "regulate the monitoring of communications" and even advocates banning forms of communications that can't be bugged, which means it goes further than Britain's RIP Act.

Senor Escobar, por favor, you should be a little more discrete. Mr. Ashcroft if a man who believes in God and the afterlife. You may think that you are safe from extradition where you are now, but I don't think you should risk it!

How safe are nyms from text fingerprints, and be it only word frequency analysis? I have no idea how good the state of the art is, but I wouldn't be risking it for anything production-quality. On 3 Aug 2001, Dr. Evil wrote:
