A controversial bill regarding retention of Internet records passed through committee and was approved for consideration by Congress in December.
The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 would require Internet providers to retain archives of every subscriber’s online activity for up to 18 months, including phone records, credit-card numbers, websites visited and bank-account data.
Wow. This is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Much like the Patriot Act, I imagine this bill will be used for much more than locating child pornographers.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me the children need to be protected BEFORE the photos are taken and published...
8:26....riiight. They can't name the bill "Wtach All Americans All The Time" act because that would be too obvious. There are still, however, MILLIONS of heel-clicking, Nazi saluting so-called "americans" who think this is a good idea. And, like the Nazi roadblocks to check innocent Americans to see IF they MIGHT be committing a crime, couching the operations under the guise of eliminating a problem everyone can dislike virtually assures a cacophony of cheeering from the above-referenced wanna-be Nazi champions.
