excerpt:

Almost one year ago Ed Leyden and Joe Brennan made noise at the GIGSE conference when they announced the formation of iMEGA, a trade group formed to protect freedom of the internet. While their larger goal was to ensure that basic freedoms set out in the constitution were not infringed on just because they took place on the internet, their more immediate concern was to somehow repeal the UIGEA, which Joe Brennan called “an unjust law that was cynically crafted to provide red meat for social conservatives for the 2006 mid term elections”. The group saw the UIGEA as the start of a slippery slope that would allow Congress to pass other laws which would curtail internet growth under the guise of national security. The group may have been correct.

Just last month, FBI agent Robert Mueller and Representative Darrell Issa drew up a proposal called the Cyber Initiative which would force ISPs to open all the browsing activities done through their networks without the need of a warrant. The FBI is hoping that a law could be passed which would require all ISPs to amend their terms of service forcing users to allow all their browsing activities to be monitored by the FBI under the guise of protection for the individual and companies against malicious attacks.
