A wikinews article on a
SAFETY bill would require U.S. ISPs to log on-line user activity.
"A bill introduced by a Republican senator from Texas, Lamar Smith, would require all ISPs in the United States to maintain a log of all on-line activity by IP addresses for an unspecified period of time, imposing fines and prison time of one year on service providers that fail to do so."
Sounds damn scary to me. Imagine every page you read, every e-mail or IM, everything (maybe even voice over IP) record with your name address attached to your IP.
Not at all a violation or privacy ... fah!
