Republicans Trying To Get Better Online Logging

It looks like Republicans are trying to push through legislation that would require logs be kept for two years of people accessing networks:

Republican politicians on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of Wi-Fi access points, even hotels, local coffee shops, and home users, to keep records about users for two years to aid police investigations.

The legislation, which echoes a measure proposed by one of their Democratic colleagues three years ago, would impose unprecedented data retention requirements on a broad swath of Internet access providers and is certain to draw fire from businesses and privacy advocates.

So if you have a wireless router on your home internet, then you would be required by law to keep access logs for two years. You can read the Senate bill here and the House bill here.

With all the communist talk going on, this really seems to take the cake.
