Followup: [RE: DOJ proposes US data-rentention law.]
by Trei, Peter 21 Jun '02

Two points: 1. According to Poulson, the DOJ proposal never discussed just what would be logged. Poulson compared it to the European Big Brother legislation, which required storage to Web browsing histories and email header data. 2. After I posted the same info to /. http://slashdot.org/articles/02/06/19/1724216.shtml?tid=103 (I'm the 'Anonymous Coward' in this case), Kevin updated his article. The new version may be found at: http://online.securityfocus.com/news/489 The relevant portions read: - start quote - U.S. Denies Data Retention Plans The Justice Department disputes claims that Internet service providers could be forced to spy on their customers as part of the U.S. strategy for securing cyberspace. By Kevin Poulsen, Jun 19 2002 12:24PM [...] But a Justice Department source said Wednesday that data retention is mentioned in the strategy only as an industry concern -- ISPs and telecom companies oppose the costly idea -- and does not reflect any plan by the department or the White House to push for a U.S. law.
