Urgent: Internet Privacy Act

lundi 2 avril 2018 à 02:00

Citizens of Massachusetts: support the Internet Privacy Act.

Here's the personal message I gave.

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.

When the ISP is required to take note of a subscriber's internet contacts, it should not be allowed to do anything with the data except hand it over to the government when and as required.

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