Demand Progress Campaign: Fight Back

[Fire$torm]

"A direct assault on Internet users" is what the ACLU is calling it. A U.S. House committee has already approved HR 1981, a broad Internet snooping bill which was introduced last year.

They want to force Internet service providers to keep track of and retain their customers' information -- including your name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses.

And get this: It's authored by lead SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith.

im so sick of this crap... When are these control freaks gonna learn that freedom comes at a price.


"Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act,"

Im so sick of them using titles that swop people in cause who wouldnt want to pass something like this only to find out thats not what its about. Just like using the name "antiterrorist" in the title to swop folks to pass that bill. ugh.

So lets say you pass such a thing do you think these folks doing illegal acts are going to use there own internet service, really, i mean with all the hot spots that are open much less the ease of hacking wireless. Oh and a town over from me they have free wireless for the town so how is this gonna work again? maybe at first this would lead to arresting the idiots but at the end I only see this leading to false arrest and ruining peoples lives. Dont get me wrong something needs to be done but this wont stop ilegal things from happening only force those folks to come up with new ways of doing it.
