TTUK players private information definitely is better protected than USA ones, the reason why is briefly explained in the following post which is taken from "TTUK test petition thread" :

The US Patriot Act provides for the US government to seize personal information from corporations .. and this conflicts with the UK's Data Protection Act which is rather strict and corporations can only share information with consent ... even if it is a foreign government that *wants* the information.

(I errased parts of that post which would be off topic here)
So I would state the following that: I beleieve that "
our keypressing activities, etc" are also monitored in the same way as TTUS players
BUT! there seem to be a
rupture between key strokes and the login data of the player who is making them, ... what I mean is:
in case of USA players if some keystrokes are perceived by TT programm as
bad - like for example: multiple nonG-rated letter cobinations , macros, and god knows what (like in case of Friday 11/03 mass ban) - they're being
flagged and programm sends an automatic blockage command on the account -
producer of the above mentioned keystrokes
in case of UK players - the process goes the same way EXCEPT! when a certain account flags the allert - TT programm doesn't have direct automatic access to the UK accounts, as they are protected, thus the process of blocking an account (puting it on admin hold or banning) should be made "
manually" , i.e. - through contacting TTUK services for ban permissions, as only TTUK has an access to our accounts
And that's IMO what happened on Friday night - even though maybe some TTUK accounts triggered the "alert" - the program could NOT reach them and put them on hold automatically as it happened with TTUS accounts, thus all TTUK accounts were "saved" from the mass computer error
.. yes another thing - TTUK is definetelly monitored in a same way as you remeber when Prof. Wally Poppencorn's antivurus discovered a
keylogger in one of TT files:
Toontown.EXE has a keylogger
