The FBI, backed by the Department of justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration submitted an 85-page proposal to the FCC in March that would require broadband service providers to introduce architecture in their networks for enabling law enforcement to eavesdrop. Experts say the proposal, if approved, could dramatically hinder emerging and existing technologies.

1994's Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act(CALEA) established the current rules on wiretapping for telecommunications providers. The FBI proposal seeks to extend these rules to broadband providers. And though, in many cases CALEA requires police to seek court approval prior to wiretapping, the Bush Administration’s Patriot Act circumvents many of those restrictions.

Also on a side note, bit of a Conspiracy Theory.
Do you think this has anything to do with Bush's new proposal to make broadband internet cheaper? Cut out all taxes allocated towards it so more people could afford it. This would make the FBI more accessible to every American and make it much easier for the FBI to spy on people
Personally I like Bush's new plan to make high speed cheaper and is one thing I would back him on. I also don't think my Conspiracy is a proper claim but food for thought. |
