Seems there are some who think they need to know what you do online. The same people who rail about big government want to have government become big brother and track you online, every website, every email, every transaction, and they want to give law enforcement access, without a warrant. Watch the video and speak out against this bill. This creates a hacker's treasure chest, a chunk of data that could be hacked and used to create new identity, It can also be used to hunt down those who might in the future be opposed to government policies. It is 1984 Orwellian overkill. Posted on Dreamwidth

This article in the New York Times gives a hint as to what the FBI is asking... another case of the government wanting our freedom and using fear as an excuse. They are planning to push a bill through Congress next year when with a Republican majority in the House, it will probably pass. Most civil liberties groups oppose it because of the potential abuse by hackers and regimes that will crack down on dissidents. Oh, well... 1984 is going to become a reality series....watch for it, because your government will be watching you.
