Hawaii wants to force internet service providers to keep track of every web site their customers visit for at least two years?

Hawaii's legislature is weighing an unprecedented proposal to curb the privacy of Aloha State residents: requiring Internet providers to keep track of every Web site their customers visit. Its House of Representatives has scheduled a hearing this morning on a new bill (PDF) requiring the creation of virtual dossiers on state residents. The measure, H.B. 2288, says "Internet destination history information" and "subscriber's information" such as name and address must be saved for two years.

Text from the bill:

Any internet service provider that provides internet service to a consumer in the State shall retain consumer records for no less than two years. The required data for the consumer records shall include each subscriber’s information and internet destination history information. Destination information shall include any of the following:

(1) Internet protocol address;
(2) Domain name; or
(3) Host name.

Not really reasonable for an ISP to log all the DNS queries or IP addresses their users connect to. I'm not sure how many routers are going to make that easy to do either.
 
If everyone in Hawaii got hold of a script that sent massive amounts of requests 24/7 those ISPs would would start fighting back against the bill.
 
It's already been differed. Just got to wait a little while and it will be killed. This is because Kym Pine is a twat and does not pay her bills. So instead she gets her revenge by introducing useless shit like this.

Local politicians in Hawaii are quite simply retarded.
 
Wow, look at the PDF, a whole state law proposal in just a few vague lines, just because Kym Pine got hacked!
Like that would prevent any hacker from using Thor or hacking from outside their home connection.
 
My wife works high up at the HoR and reviews EVERY bill that goes through there. I'm going to be asking her about this tonight.
 
I looked up the status on it and this is the status as of a short while ago:

"The committee(s) on ERB recommend(s) that the measure be deferred."

I sent my wife an email asking exactly what that means.
 
Damn, every news thread I'm coming to here is just about more ways on how our freedoms are disappearing.

SOPA, ATCA, and now this? Really?

Every day this country feels more and more like North Korea. :(
They might start taking notes from us! :eek:

Just Hawaii thinking of this mate, US mainland providers have been keeping browsing info for years already.
 
ok, the unoffical yet in-the-know source says the bill is dead. "Isn't gonna happen."


Just another misguided elected representative with another crazy idea and the crazy idea gets shot down.

Lots of crazy ideas get introduced every year and most of them die. This one is joining that graveyard.
 
Keep in mind it wasn't "The State of Hawaii" that wanted this. It was a few representatives and they basically got told "no" by the rest of the representatives.

Nah. The easiest method is to enforce people to purchase television sets with cameras pre-installed and running all the time. Those who are not enemies of the state should not fear and let the cameras watch over them to ensure freedom is maintained in this nation. I mean, you have nothing to hide right? We need Thought police to make sure we're not doing illegal things.

You should not "let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a TV. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself -- anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence."
 
-- Just a side track

"Hawaii may keep track of sites visited on ISPs there?"...

- Google has been doing it for the past years now.. why not spend a lot of money doing it when you can contact google and ask for
info/data related to the things they want to track (as far as people in Hawaii is concerned)... and save a bit of money and lots of time
along the way?..

No, actually not in the 2years worth of info that Hawaii requires, heck the 6month law was fought back, for a reason: logging all that info would be a HUGE ammount of data that would ask fora couple buildings worth of databases, and it would still be worthless.

ISP's keep a small ammount of info for 6months, but the entirety of it? no way.

Elevated train in Honolulu...if there was ever a place in the world that should use buses, it's Oahu.
 
Two years? Are they going to pay for all the hard drives to store that log data? I work for a log management software company - we have moderately-sized customers who would generate 12 TB of data per year (compressed) if they kept all of it. Most store ALL data for 30 days, SOME for 90, and an extremely limited subset of "events of importance" for a year. But all of it for two years? Insane.
