The Camel's Nose and Your Tent
Via CNN.com, there is a report of a push for legislation that would require anyone who owns/operates a wireless internet network to keep a log of all users for two years to aid police investigations.This is the technological equivalent of the government, say 12 years ago, requiring you to keep an accurate log of everyone who uses your phone for the last 2 years. Sorry, but this is wrong. This is the government sticking it's nose into your private life. If they want to get a warrant for the records you do have, that's one thing but this is different. You don't have to keep a log of where your car goes and who drives it to aid an investigation about whether it was used in a crime. You aren't required to keep a log of all video purchases and what movies are watched on your television/DVD player to make sure you aren't pirating movies. There is no reason to force you to keep a record of who uses your internet connection.Contact your legislators and let them know that you want the government to keep out of your business.
