Translation: Let's take more freedom's from the innocent citizen so our lazy asses don't have to work so hard.
Another burden upon private industry.
Do they think that keeping track of all this is free and doesn’t take any time or resources?
Also, they’d invariably impose some kind of criminal penalty on the ISPs to enforce this.
The only companies that could comply with this are larger enterprises and would lead to consolidation in the industry.
Fewer players = easier to control/coerce.
While this has nothing to do with catching terrorists or illegal aliens, you can bet that if Obama is re-elected and Holder is retained that this will be about who visited Free Republic. Now is the time to start capturing, printing, and binding the information on the internet that you find to be valuable because the day is coming - soon - that this will be a restricted medium.
Exactly, goes for the ‘police’ too. The entire bunch are lazy and pretty much incompetent. OTOH any number of law and order types here will tell us why we’re wrong. Us little people just need to sit down and get over the loss of our freedoms b/c security is far more important.
Remind me why we vote these people into office.
There is a niche for a company to market a plan that does not retain ANY data from users for more than 30 minutes[or so]...a contnous loop of gather and dump. The phone would work, gps would work but no records are kept...not necessary anyway.
They only do it because they can....not the government wants YOUR data too...whenever they decide they want it.
I bet someone could get mighty rich developing such a model...
FU DOJ
CONTINUOUS
NOW the government...
{The offending fingies have been sent to reeducatuion camps...]
I’d like to know what’s the difference between the government invading your privacy without a warrant (i.e. going on a “fishing expedition” to look for something wrong without probable cause) and the government requiring private companies to do the same thing? Why would such a law or regulation be Constitutional (well, besides the fact that the Constitution has become a mere figleaf over the last 75-80 years)?
The DOJ seems to forget there is a 4th Amendment. They can’t do
what they want without probable cause and a wire tap warrant
specifically identifying what they are seeking. One warrant at a time
for each person whose privacy they have a reasonable justification to
invade.
and sadly we will be forced to rely on a bunch of leftists from the ACLU and the National Library Guild to carry the ball on this
The fix:
Every connection will have to go out encrypted and then through an off shore anonymous proxy. Kind of pain but not very hard to set up.
“...it needs Internet providers to store more data about their users to help with federal investigations.”
No, the 4th Ammendment says you don’t!
Congress should respond to Holder that he should pound sand.
Somebody tell Holder he needs to resign now before Obama is forced to throw him under the bus.
Doesn’t apply. Lots of cases have determined that. Since it is a third party, it isn’t “yours”.
