    I don’t know too much about this but it seems to go way too far.

    “A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least two years all records or other information pertaining to the identity of a user of a temporarily assigned network address the service assigns to that user.”

    That’s insane. Especially since that refers to individuals and their home WiFi as far as I can tell. I’m all for “protecting the children” but what about privacy? And allowing people to have WiFi without ridiculous restrictions on it that make it unfeasible?

    What about the fact that it’s none of the government’s business, it’s totally outside the bounds of the Constitution, and protecting the children is a worthless screen to hide behind?

    >`(h) Retention of Certain Records – A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least two years all records or other information pertaining to the identity of a user of a temporarily assigned network address the service assigns to that user.’. <——-

    That alone gets a nay from me…

    whats next? we all must have a gps device on us at all times so the govt can track everywhere we go and record the times weve been there dating back the last 2 years. after all, somewhere out there on the mean streets a a child is being molested… and after all it IS for the children…

    nice try, “for the children” can be used to pass just about any bad law or tax hike.

    I hope this law dies as usual

    This law is not only bad, bad, bad, it is also nearly impossible to monitor or enforce in any meaningful way. I use DHCP in my home network. How in the world is the government going to force me to divulge how often I hop on the Internet?

    This bill is not about protecting kids but about protecting the music and movie industry. They need a new business model. Time change.

    How could all home Wifi users be expected to log all traffic for 2 years! This is insane!

    The sponsor of this bill is stuck on stupid.

    Is this another step to the internet censorship by the government? Step by step…
