GOP revives ISP-tracking legislation

All Internet service providers would need to track their customers' online activities to aid police in future investigations under legislation introduced Tuesday as part of a Republican "law and order agenda."

Employees of any Internet provider who fail to store that information face fines and prison terms of up to one year, the bill says. The U.S. Justice Department could order the companies to store those records forever.

Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, called it a necessary anti-cybercrime measure. "The legislation introduced today will give law enforcement the tools it needs to find and prosecute criminals," he said in a statement.

That will jack the cost of internet up double or triple if not more. Which will put it out of the budget ranges of many Americans.

Ironically, the cries of 'freedom' that were raised for terrorists will not be heard against this legislation.

Sadly, this legislation is just as necessary as wire-tapping is against the terrorists.

Enemies foreign or domestic should be eliminated. Even if I do not like the legislation.
