US News SOPA sponsor has another Internet bill that records you 24/7

[Slapshot136]

Senator Lamar Smith, lead sponsor of the currently dead SOPA bill you’ve heard so much about, has another bill in the works that uses Child Pornography as a screen to push through an amendment that’ll have your internet service provider tracking all of your financial dealings online. Each time you use a credit card, each time you read your bank statement, all of your IP information and your search history will be required by your ISP to be stored for 18 months at all times. This bill is H.R. 1981 and will have more dire consequences than SOPA or PIPA ever had the potential to have.

sigh, they really do need to stop making these BS bills - this one in particular looks like a great target for anonymous to expose some dirt on the guys from places that they don't like, all that information stored in a single "secure" place

Child Pornography? This guy seriously needs to lay off the internet. If his bill passes, shit will happen.

Hahaha yeah right, there's no way this shit actually passes. There's no justification to monitor people's search history like that.

He just wants to have his name on the History book or something -.-

Don't they already do that?

I get the feeling he's just trolling. He's seen how pissy the people got when he tried putting in SOPA, and so he's trying to put in something worse.

This guy seriously just hates the internet.
