Ok and?

If you’re already in business with the ISP, they will have that information on file a lot longer than 1 year.

AS for Traffic - the only way to truly avoid anything is to work with HTTPS or use a virtual machine that provides a proxy for you to use. Otherwise, if it’s on the internet, it’s there for ANYONE to see.

In fact, sometimes it’s fun to go to a Barnes and Noble or even a McDonald’s on campus with a Wifi analyzer just to see what people are putting out there completely in the clear.

“Ok and?”

Now, they don’t HAVE to keep temp IP addys associated with your name. Many do.

There also is no current requirement to divulge past IP addys (tied to customers) to any LE agency with a piece of paper.

False headlines aside, it’s just a little move closer to ending net anonymity, this time it’s being done to keep kids safe from people who collect “illegal” pictures. For the Children.

The bill as far as I can see does not get involved with traffic, just addresses.

Which WiFi sniffer do you prefer?
