H.R. 1981 is a proposed blanket law that requires every internet service provider (ISP) to gather personal information on every American who uses the internet, and the ISPs must keep those records handy for the government for 18 months. All Americans using the internet will be subject to this. The information that must be collected includes customers’ names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses. This bill is not about pedophiles and makers of child pornography, this bill is about spying on every American who uses the internet and collecting private personal information. Naming this bill as protection against child pornographers is just a trick to make people support it & disparage those who oppose it. read more at http://www.usa-anti-communist.com/wp/?p=5654 2012-01-20T23:17:48Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-01-20:/comment/243832 RE_Q Who votes for these guys!? Seriously what we need in our government are people that can adapt to the 21st century. I don't mind the Child Pornography part but the rest no. 2012-01-25T09:33:25Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-01-25:/comment/243959 Brian_Richard The way I see the bill is obviously in the right direction for the country. In fact in light of this bill I think a new bill should be proposed. In order to protect our stores and banks from the threat of robbery, we mush set up a system that tracks the whereabouts of all people in America at all times. This would help track (for the purposes of stopping these crimes of course) who was in the area when a major robbery goes down. There is of course no other way this information could be used so don't worry. 2012-01-31T22:34:39Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-01-31:/comment/244086 anchor11 If its pubic people should be dressed for public... But I think its a awesome way to track down the pervs, we should support our law makers and those that try to offer us a safer place to live, I think its great, of course I don't have anything to hide and no I'm not fat well not too fat anyway. 2011-08-04T16:00:01Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-04:/comment/234960 FreeRoamer I hate child pornographers just as much as the next guy, but this seems like another attempt by our government to take away our civil liberties "in the name of the children" or something like that. No matter how noble the stated cause, the Constitution was respected. This bill sounds scarily similar to the Patriot Act in terms of breaches of privacy and stated intentions, and like a previous commenter well stated, this bill should be titled H.R. 1984. 2012-02-01T23:32:57Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-01:/comment/244134 walker7 Here is a petition you should sign so you can kill this bill: http://act.demandprogress.org/act/snooping/?referring_akid=a4909667.585444.5hPc9x&source=auto-e 2011-08-04T13:53:41Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-04:/comment/234959 polcat The legal citizen's privacy should never be abridged no matter for what the purpose of government uses to try and stop ciminal conduct. The tiny minority of evil men and women should never deny the privacy and protections of the majority! EVER! 2012-02-07T23:43:19Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-07:/comment/244404 dihayden29 *I don't want an ISP provider to make it easy for hackers or anyone else to steal your Identity by getting important numbers like credit cards or SSN's.* In case anyone has problems reading the first line. 2012-02-07T23:37:06Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-07:/comment/244403 dihayden29 Yea I definetly don't an ISP provider making it easy to rip you off and steal your Identity but getting important numbers like credit cards or SSN's. There are hackers that would love to have a place to be able to target people easily.... In case Congress members don't know... All you need is a phone #, zipcode or even part of your address including anything else you may use that's personal and can easily find EVERYTHING about you and when I say EVERYTHING I mean Everything you're thinking about right now and more.... If it's about protecting children from porn or sexual predators online or otherwise Great! Anything outside of that, I would question. 2011-08-17T09:21:25Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-17:/comment/235085 davidmac29 H.R. 1984. I love it! 2011-11-11T13:54:55Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-11-11:/comment/237774 pavementends42 Unbelievable. In much of Europe it is illegal for anyone to retain IP addresses or other identifiable information at all. Internet privacy is absolutely paramount in this technological age and to jeopardize that with these ill-conceived retention rules is not only a violation, but demonstrates either a complete lack of understanding in how these mechanisms work, or a blatant disregard for privacy of US citizens. Absolutely oppose! And the use of such a title is manipulative double-speak and reprehensible! 2012-02-01T11:24:41Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-01:/comment/244114 dgingras Pervs and criminals already use encryption and anonymization proxies. The ISP-maintained databases will be targeted by criminals and mined for identity info and credit card numbers. Yet another example of legislators who don't understand how the Internet works. 2012-02-19T08:21:52Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-19:/comment/250109 justinpaulbaker There are issues with this bill. No, this is NOT the best way to deal with this -- very disappointing. Very uncreative. 2011-08-04T18:00:30Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-04:/comment/234965 RReneker This is a clear violation of the right to privacy. 2011-07-29T15:06:39Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-07-29:/comment/234792 Maelstrom It'd be more fitting to call this H.R. 1984!! Why don't you just call for the repeal of the Fourth Amendment, tyrannical Congress! 2011-07-30T22:34:15Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-07-30:/comment/234829 trekie70 My concern is that the bill states no specific requirement for how such info should be stored. If there is no encryption requirement, then a hacker would have a field day with all those CC numbers. Good idea but there's some work left to be done before I could fully support this bill. 2011-08-04T16:01:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-04:/comment/234961 FreeRoamer Also funny how this is the same Congressman who refused to give H.R. 2346 a hearing. This guy must have an absolute hatred for civil liberties. 2011-08-24T21:01:41Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-24:/comment/235131 JSComputerTech This should be called the Super Surveillance State Bill. I hope every mother out there finds out you are using this child porn tag for things that have nothing to do with it. 2011-08-06T22:05:03Z tag:opencongress.org,2011-08-06:/comment/234987 MTeinert Another bill that the citizens don't want but yet congress is approving another tyrannical law. I thought this country was run by the people for the people. Instead they make laws that make us all prisoners to their own agendas. This has got to be a sick joke. 2012-02-26T06:05:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2012-02-26:/comment/256925 walker7 If you want to fax Congress and destroy H.R. 1981, please go to this link: http://news.dienerconsultants.com/ct/7951613:11267733127:m:1:328164116:0425D5CD1E449C782293FDF390002628:r We really need to destroy this bill ASAP.
