DOJ Wants ISPs to Retain All Customer Records

doubledoh writes "CNET reports that the Department of Justice is 'quietly shopping around' the idea of requiring ISP's to retain all data of their customer's online activities for at least several months. The SEC already mandates that publicly traded firms retain all company emails for at least 2 years, but it looks like John Q. Public may also soon be subject to similar Constitutional violations. Big Brother, here we come."

Taxes are never borne by the business, it is always passed down to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

So the answer is that you and all your fat, cheetos-orange-fingered Everquest friends will be footing the bill. Or at least your parents will.
