Urgent: Internet Privacy Act

The bill does not go far enough. We should prohibit ISPs from even taking note of subscribers' internet contacts, except to the extent required by federal law (which should also be changed), or required by a specific court order (the only legitimate justification for such tracking.

Although this bill does not go far enough, it is a step forward and should be passed.
