DoJ And Republicans Pushing For Data Retention On Internet

[mrjarrell]

Well, this one's back. Even after Bush got slapped down when he wanted it, some gop pols and the DoJ want to push ISP's and other internet services to retain data so police can have access to it when they please. No thanks. And you can keep your bipartisanship, too. I like my privacy and they already retain info for too long a period. It should disappear immediately, unless it was necessary for the functioning of the ISP, (which it isn't). The total surveillance state is upon us. Hopefully Sensebrenner and his DoJ friends will get slapped down again and put back in their place.

Bush wanted this badly when he was in office. Obama likely wants it, too. It's certain his DoJ does. Obama is just continuing on in the same fine tradition set by Bush.

So if republicans want less government in our lives why are they for this?

I'm 6', built like Swarzenegor, bullet proof, can leap tall buildings in a single bound and I'm immune to kryptonite.

What one says and what they are or do are rarely one and the same.

Figure out who stands to profit the most and you will usually find the reason for the legislation. Big providers able to squeeze out competition from smaller companies? Exclusive sale of the info gathered? It's always about the big cash when dc is involved.
