This proposed bill has been floating around the ether for a faraway date — and it’s just made a big moment comeback. Essentially, the Republican-backed bill would be a “sweeping” federal measure which would require all ISPs and many WiFi access point providers to keep records of their users for two years, in order to aid police investigations. There are two separate bills — one in the Senate and one in the House — both named the “Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today’s Youth Act,” or Web Safety Act. Catchy, right? The bill would cover, as already stated, not just the major ISPs, but WiFi providers, including both public and password protected access points. The bill is undoubtedley going to be quite controversial, but is additionally expected to appeal to legislators across both parties. We’ll see what, whether anything, becomes of it, but in the meantime, what are your thoughts on that one?
