Nice British take on 2257
They smell something fishy from all the way over there!
US rules all porn is child porn http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/24/us_law_2257/ I like their comment about hte Patriot Act also. The link at bottom about stalking is also good. They do a real good job of reaming the DOJ. And some of the user comments are right on. http://www.alternet.org/story/22289/ |

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

The Canadians can see this is facist bullshit, the Europeans can see this is facist bullshit, you'd think us freedom loving, spread democracy throughtout the world Americans could grasp that.
Those are great articles and thanks for posting them. |

The Alternet article was GREAT!
This whole thing is BS. I hope we all wake up and smell the shit soon!

There was a link off the Alternet page also worth reading.
Pretty good writeup comparing the Star Wars Republic to the current US situation. Seems George Lucas and Hayden Christensen are comparing Dubya to Chancellor Palpatine also. http://www.alternet.org/wiretap/22284/ |

Trying is the first step towards failure

I'm going to print this quote from alternet on a t-shirt "First they come for the pornographers, and then they come for you."

Here is an article where DOJ officials try to strong arm ISPs to retain records of our on-line activity by telling them "'You're going to have to start thinking about data retention if you don't want people to think you're soft on child porn."

It's not only other governments that see it as bullshit. There are a lot of US politicians that feel the same way.
It ain't gonna happen |

"In Europe, the Council of Justice and Home Affairs ministers say logs must be kept for between one and three years. One U.S. industry representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Justice Department is interested in at least a two-month requirement"
"A 1996 federal law called the Electronic Communication Transactional Records Act regulates data preservation. It requires Internet providers to retain any "record" in their possession for 90 days "upon the request of a governmental entity." Why 2 months when you can already get them by making the request and its 90 days worth? I wonder what the ISP would be required to keep in the logs. I mean seriously tracking someone on a network, i dont care if its self contained or ISP is done by default. All the logs you need are already there. |
