Internet providers would be forced to keep logs of their customers' activities for one year--in case police want to review them in the future--under legislation that a U.S. House of Representatives committee approved today.

Good afternoon Mr. EGPWS, we are from the government and we are here to help you.

Pretty much.

This is bad for two reasons:

1. More regulation on ISPs. How do you think they are going to handle storing the data on every customer? That will cost a lot of money. Will they eat that cost? Hardly! They will pass it on and the internet will get even more expensive.

2. Eventually something like this will be used to pressure or discriminate against conservatives or Christians. This is how the internet is in authoritarian countries like China.

They are using safety as a cover because "everyone wants safety" and if anyone speaks out they look like a horrible person.
