Sep. 22nd, 2006 08:02 amGonzales: ISPs must keep records on users
"One form could require Internet providers and perhaps social-networking sites and search engines to record for a year or two which IP address is used by which user. The other form would be far broader, requiring companies to record data such as the identities of e-mail correspondents, logs of who sent and received instant messages (but not the content of those communications), and the addresses of Web pages visited."
I wonder whether there can be a business model for good reliable bulk anonymizers.
And another question - if I connect from Starbucks, or from anywhere in Mountain View, how important it would be for whichever provider there is, to record the ip address they assign to my session? Or are they going after my MAC address?!
