| Can online activists eliminate politicians that don't understand the Internet? (Digital Trends) - Digital Trends - On the heels of the failed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) bill, Democratic Rep. John Mizuno of Oahu, Hawaii recently introduced a new bill (H.B. 2288) that would require Internet service providers to track all ”Internet destination history information” as well as ”subscriber’s name and address” for a period of two years. Due to the vague language of the bill, the law would have required all businesses in Hawaii that provide a Wi-Fi network to track user activity. While this change would certainly effect any Hawaii resident that subscribes to Internet service, the six million tourists that visit the state each year would be subject to online tracking through hotels, coffee shops and other public Wi-Fi areas.

Defenders say that more than ever the Internet has put tools into our hands, and that the blog is our personal showcase for displaying them. Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:45:49 GMT |
