February 20, 2009, 12:29pm (report abuse)According to CNN, each (S. 436 and H.R. 1076) contains the same language: "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 is, every home with a Wi-Fi access point, gateway, router, etc. would be required to collect and retain these records.
I'm all for "saving the children"--but this is ridiculous, unenforceable, and liable to be abused.

Call your legislator or vote these idiots out of office!

February 22, 2009, 6:27pm (report abuse)All these kids that have been found to have been approached about sex on the net? Well the study this came from seems to have alluded the Congressman. Those people that did this sexual approaching just happened to be THE OTHER KIDS. Not a large group of adults. The kids kid and annoy each other by sex talk all the time. Do any of you remember when you were a teenager. Teen guys wander around with a hardon from daybreak to bedtime...and even when asleep.
So what...this is all another government clusterf**k.
Move on.

February 23, 2009, 4:26pm (report abuse)It's too late folks...the government has been hijacked and some of you are just now starting to realize it.
This isn't about kids...it's about control. It's just a matter of time before our elected officials tighten the noose of control on all of us. Get ready for more loss of freedoms until we're in a total police state...I give it less than 5 years.

February 25, 2009, 8:14pm (report abuse)if you use your PC at work, your internet activites are already monitored. if you engage in public life (banking, driving, professional license, file taxes) the minutia of your life is amassed and cataloged. The only protection we REALLY have is the ineptitude of the database owners - but with data between govt and private sector freely shared eventually something embarassing will be pointed at each of us. Trust no one! Fight everything that smacks of peeping into your private affairs. Be diligent people! Fight!

The best protection for children (on or off the internet) is parents taking an active interest in what their children are doing or who they are talking to and what about. This is the kind of bill I would expect from a police state, not a democracy.
