FBI Wants ISPs to Keep Record of Sites You Visit

[belardo]

Huh?

 

[bit_user]

As long as a search warrant is required for them to get at it, I guess it would be constitutional.

FBI CAN LICK MY RING OF HOLY FIRE

[citation][nom]chomlee[/nom]if every person in the US visited 100 ip addresses each day it would be about 300,000,000 people X 365 days/yr X 100 ip addresses/person * 15 Bytes/address=164 terrabytes/yearSee, thats not so bad[/citation]
Interesting. Keep in mind though, they'd actually have to maintain 328TB at a time since they want two years of records.

I'd say that's feasible, considering the technology, the money and the interests involved. Spreading fear and keep people under lock and key seems to be the new industries.

hmm not only will it invade are privacy, but it would cost way too much money.

I have 3 words. Fuck you FBI!.

 

[matt87_50]

this is actually fair enough.

how would it be any different than being able to pull your phone records?

I wish they would adopt this here in Aus before implementing a stupid filter!

I very much respect the Judicial system and laws. I've got a BA in criminal justice. Normally, I would support the system, because I see their point of view. However, this is not only an invasion of privacy. It's a waste of resources. There's more efficient ways to catch these people.

The only nation that doesn't have loony networking laws now wants to track us down... great.

How does it feel to "want" and not get? That is my answer to this blatant attempted invasion of privacy. I'm not convinced these agencies can yet do their assigned jobs and they are demanding more responsibilities. No! Not on my dime!

If the various agencies of the U.S. government responsible for national safety simply did their basic jobs -- I am convinced 9/11 would never have happened and most likely the U.S.A. would not be engaged in the debacle Iraq is today. I do want these agencies to stop squandering our taxpayers' dollars and resources especially on attempts to disregard the Constitution and invade personal individual citizens' privacy.

Hell no! is my response and I will take a fair amount of time to write national congressional representatives and senators to urge that they block and oppose any such restrictive and intrusive measures. Knock it off and go back to work!

On page 14 of Sunstein’s January 2008 white paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” [2] the man who is now Obama’s head of information technology in the White House proposed that each of the following measures “will have a place under imaginable conditions” according to the strategy detailed in the essay.


1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.

2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.

This kind of thing isn't only going on in the US, either.

Welcome to the new form of terrorism: political dissent.

I've never been one to always go for conspiracy theories, but I will defend to the death people's right to hold opinions - to protest - to question. These are rights our forefathers strove to establish, it's how America was created. What the HELL are these shadow governments playing at? No, it's not just about porn, or real terrorism..they are but the pretext on which the likes of the UN..the Whitehouse..Bill Gates.. appear to be calling for the shut down of the Internet as we know it. This is happening now..with things like the Cyber Security Act that was recently passed.

This is far more-reaching than concerns over porn.

so much for bitching China about internet freedom and privacy.

Oh yeah, the FBI is doing it for freedom, right ?

God I just love double standard these days.

 

[Guest]

What are you people talking about, don't be naive. Keeping records of sites you visit for trying to track child porn and terrorists is nothing the same as filtering content and search results or blocking websites you can view like the Chinese do!

 

[CoryInJapan]

Seriously this is real legit privacy invasion.
THere are a lot of othere things on the internet that is not child porn that we dont need the FBI looking at.If your in the know then you know what I mean.one little abbreviation RC's ring a bell?

DOnt need the FBI finding all the good RC sites.

I think they keep using the child pornagraphic subject to much just to get what they want. Child pornagraphy is not an issue in the USA.
Well atleast the making of child pornagraphy wich is the actual problem .
