Aside from the privacy issues, how much would this cost? How much server space would it consume to record every visit to every site on the web? And store it for a year?

Every time a congresscritter clears his throat, it costs the country millions of dollars in unintended consequences.

What makes you think the consequences are unintended?

The RINOs who voted for this must love Eric Holder to give him this kind of unchecked power.

Good to see we’re keeping up with China in at least something.

I don't know the cost but it costs something and we'll have to pay that something.

Maybe we should change that to 'unconcerned consequences.' There's no sign that they care about the actual results.

Wouldn't much matter who is AG or POTUS at the moment. If the power is there then it will eventually be abused. People here at FR would bring that up during the Bush years but that warning seemed to fall on deaf ears.

So “every click you take” doesn’t apply to dry-firing a firearm? Whew.

Ok SOOOOOOO, a Islamofascist infiltrator in the Army disappears from a base in the East. The CID can’t find him, or were they waiting for him to do something?

It took an alert Gun shop owner to call the LOCAL Cops to stop this guy.

NOW we are suppose to believe they can track every single keystroke on EVERYONES computer.
first of all it is rediculous in it’s concept. What would it take a 100,000 fed workers to keep track of all the data.

The inmates are running the Washington Asylum.

Okay I'll bite. On the microscopic chance you're not a shill, look up "automated data analysis" on google.

Then take that general idea, and weaponize it through the military.

Then take that weaponized concept, and front it through a bunch of totalitarian liberal billionaires in Silicon Valley burbling about social justice on their way to their private jets.

Are you fricking starting to get the picture?

I totally agree. However, with Holder in that position Ray Charles could see this will be abused. There is no “what if we get a radical statist AG”. We have one.

Interesting!

SOOOO, tax$$$$$$ are to be used to “track” Law Abiding Citizens Computer activities. The ? is TO WHAT PURPOSE.

From the Anthony trial we learned that while they can recover deleted data, and track keystrokes. It was the analysis of the data that was flawed.

This concept is a huge waste of money and time. It is like searching the Pacific Ocean for one individual fish.
This does not make sense to me.
I’ll ignore your humorous reference to me as a shill.LOL

We have known for years that this site gets a lookylu from the snoopers.

That makes sense - almost. Why would you need Truecrypt? That wouldn’t seem to involve your ISP in any way. What am I missing?

Just for keeping stuff encrypted if anyone does gain access to your ‘puter. I would have a hard time believing info couldn’t be hacked at your internet provider.
