The congressmen that want to spy on you

Yesterday, a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) data retention bill has been voted 19-10 in the House Judiciary Committee. Those 19 representatives that voted "in favor", therefore approving the bill, are mandating that your ISP spies on every click and keystroke you make online and that information has to be retained for 12 months. A whole year of all your private activities online will be recorded by your ISP. In other words, if this was happening in the offline world, it would be like reporting every single magazine you read, every single TV show you watch, every single radio station you listen to, every book you read, every movie you watch, etc. I think that by now you get the idea and extension of what we are talking about here.

So, please look carefully at the faces of the 19 U.S Representatives that have approved this bill. They are the ones that want to spy on you!
