Users to DOJ... Get bent.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We also need to keep tabs on government officials and employees by having them wired to the Internet 24/7 with webcam/microphones so we can be sure that they are not doing anything illegal and are performing their duties correctly.

That's why Weinstein urged the Senate Judiciary’s Privacy, Technology and the Law subcommittee on Tuesday to consider data-retention legislation as it weighs new privacy efforts in the digital age. The top DOJ official said such a congressional fix would boost the agency's ability to investigate privacy breaches, prosecute other digital crimes and ferret out abuses in the offline world.

So the government wants to force ISPs to keep track of user's data to protect user's privacy. What an Orwellian statement.

All data is collected and stored. Every last byte.

The beauty of the systemic data collection mechanism is the inability to discern the specific needle in the stack of needles.

The stack is higher than the sky, and the ability of the individual to sort through such is... limited, at best.

This administration must have quite an enemies list if they need to access everyones ISP.

But data-retention rules are particularly appealing to DOJ, which argued at a hearing earlier this year that such legislation would assist greatly with cyberstalking . . .

Well said.

[RJS1950]

Sure they want to track everyone. Makes it easier for the democrat party to identify who needs to be rounded up and sent to reeducation camps.

Sooner or later they will find out that this country doesn't have a system in place to control 300 million people. Collective civility is only a function of individual choice. Once the fuse is lit, it will be a free-for-all.

I’d do business with any ISP that directed all non-active IP address information to /dev/null. It would save them a lot of hassle. When the feds come knocking, you can’t give them what you don’t have.
