he legislation, which echoes a measure proposed by one of their Democratic colleagues three years ago, would impose unprecedented data retention requirements on a broad swath of Internet access providers and is certain to draw fire from businesses and privacy advocates.

It goes without saying that I think this bill sucks. But why are you just picking on the republicans when the dems also proposed this bill three years earlier? From your article
Really this is just another OMG THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!! type of thing, or at least the 'protect our kids' mantra is used to justify it along with alot of other infringments on our rights.
I'd really like to see a movement along the lines of 'Raise your own darn kids so we can all retain our freedom'

I found this news article a few days ago and don't see anyone mentioning it here. It involves a Republican Bill that will require all ISP's and providers of public Wi-Fi accress points to keep records on all users online activities for two years (for the purpose of assisting police in their investigations).
I would like to know what ATS users think of this and how it would effect your online activities.
If you are a Republican and see the danger in this, perhaps it's time to call your rep. and voice your opinion.

This has already been happenning for while. Look at the lawsuit recently lost by youtube. Oh, and it goes way beyond two years. Now they just want a cheaper source for the information.

I know this might sound kind of silly to people who believe in conspiracies, but if you aren't doing anything wrong, or if you have nothing to hide, what's the big deal?
I am not a republican or a democrat by the way, I have always voted as an independant.
