Hawaiian Bill Would Force ISPs to Track Users' Web Histories For 2 Years

Posted by timothy on from the honi-ko'u-'elemu dept.

New submitter mazinger writes "In Hawaii, a bill has been proposed to retain data on Internet users and the sites they visit. Apparently, there is also no requirement for a warrant to obtain the information from service providers. The bill affects not only ISPs but also coffee shops and anyone providing Internet access."

    Why not just force every citizen to post a continuous blog of their every activity at every moment of every day for all time?

    That way, we could all rest assured that our safety is being protected.

    My friend here's trying to convince me that any independent contractors who were working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when it was destroyed by the Rebels. But I know a contractor listens to his heart when taking on a job :-)
