2 Year Data Retention For Australian ISPs

Posted by samzenpus on from the save-your-reciept dept.

freddienumber13 writes "Following similar acts passed by foreign governments, the Australian government is now seeking feedback on its plans to bring into law the requirement for ISPs to retain user data for up to 2 years. They're also seeking changes to the law that would allow undercover ASIO agents and its sources to commit crimes which would include, for example, hacking into your computer."

  1. Fuck you Australia. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    People say the USA is bad, but Australia seems to have the most draconian internet legislation I've heard of. Do the people really want this, or is the government out of control there? Any aussies that can answer this? The reason I said fuck you in the subject is because this is just opening doors for the USA to pull the same shit. I don't want this kind of crap in my country.
