On file: How will the tracking regime begin?
06/22/05
When the US government wants to police what citizens are saying online, it pulls out the most potent weapon in its arsenal: bureaucratic regulations. The Department of Justice is currently pushing two new regs that will generate long-lasting records of what people are posting and reading. What's particularly dirty about all this is that it puts the onus of tracking people on private businesses, rather than in the hands of law enforcement. How will this tracking regime begin?
