Bill would require ISPs to track users

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has proposed a bill requiring ISPs to track the identities and online activities of their users. This ill-conceived bill would put yet more personal information in the hands of private corporations all for the supposed purpose of fighting child porn. Unfortunately, this bill will do little to nothing to stop it. This bill will put undue burden on ISPs and expose most people to even more risk of identity theft, to say nothing of the privacy issues.
