FBI Wants ISPs to Retain User Data for at Least Two Years
At a hearing last week, FBI Director Robert Mueller told the US House Judiciary Committee that Internet service providers (ISPs) should be required to retain user activity data for at least two years. The idea has bipartisan support in the legislature. Despite the recent hearing and earlier efforts to mandate ISP data retention, it is still unclear what sort of information would be retained. A data retention law could require ISPs to keep information about IP addresses assigned to users,but could also mean that the companies have to hold on to information related to email, instant messaging, and which web sites were visited.Current practices have ISPs discarding data that are not required for business reasons; exceptions are made when law enforcement authorities are conducting an investigation. |
