FBI wants to monitor Internet users
NDA, Big Brother's ambitions are astounding - just the other day, FBI Director Robert Muller made an interesting statement (caution, English!). It turns out that he is going to ensure that providers from the United States keep the history of their users on the web. And the data retention period (attention!) Should be two years. In addition, these data providers must provide the authorities literally on demand, without any courts or anything else there.

It is clear that this means tracking IP addresses, domains, sites that a user visits. According to Muller, this data should be accessed by federal, state, and local governments. In short, any figure from the authorities, if desired, will be able to get into the personal Internet life of any American and dig in plenty there.

The argument cited by Muller is the following: before the advent of the Internet, the FBI had access to any information about the telephone conversations of US residents. But now most of the personal communication between people has moved to the Internet, and it is not possible to keep track of all this, since there is no relevant law.
Do you know why the FBI needed all this? Right! To combat child pornography. Here, as not al-Qaeda, so child pornography. Well, of course, national security issues also figure.
Fortunately, for the time being it is too early to talk about global surveillance - no one has passed the relevant laws. But if they accept ... Probably, the Americans (and we too) should start reading and re-reading Orwell, his “1984”.
