Internet Safety Act

Posted February 21, 2009 at 11:07 pm in News, Privacy | No Comments

In response to an article written by CNET, Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police, I’d like to know when I will be paid for collecting information that “police officers” are employed to do considering they can already do whatever they want under the Patriot Act.

I could care less that hotels and coffee shops maintain this information, as it makes sense for this to be occurring, but home users? This smells of violation; violation of the 5th Amendment. A law enforcement agency will tack on an offense of not maintaining logs for two years onto someone who used technology inappropriately (in their opinion) and this will be taken up the judicial tree. It’s going to happen.

The best Congress could do was tell us it’ll help protect the children? Couldn’t they have at least told us it would save democracy from communism?

P.S. Am I now able to write off my hard disks for tax purposes as they now serve a government function?
