Great... Another politician is talking technology

The politicians fixed the spam problem and now they're going to fix the piracy problem.

Welcome to China.

You know it. I don't know too much about this guy, but what I do know, I don't particularly like.

wow

The network buildout requirements for this will be insane just to even be able to analyze all the data!

 How would they know?

Would they flag certain things? Maybe record your search strings and certain keywords would be flagged?

How would this work for p2p? Newsgroups?

Oh boy...

Well using a shotgun to take out a fly comes to mind.

Hope the ISP's got their cleats on, if they are going to hang out on that slippery slope. Next they could be filtering for everything else under the sun.

"shotgun to take out a fly comes to mind"

LOL - brings to mind the Monty Python's skit on big game hunting with bugs. Thats the one where the use airplanes, bombs, missiles and machine guns to hunt them down.

Why

spend all the money on filtering out contents when you can just increase bandwidth? The filter will most likely affect legitimate users and cause all sorts of headaches too.

Good Job

He is representing his constituents. I hope the other politicians do the same and vote this bill down.

Hmm... What will he want next? For the phone companies to send us nasty letters if we say something he doesn't like on our land lines or cellphones? The last thing we need is more Nanny State government. Ick.

Privacy issue

As an example it is one thing to obtain a warrant to wiretap a phone as part of a criminal investigation. It would be quite different if officers listened in on general calls at random fishing for possible wrong doing. This totally crosses that type of line. ISP records on customers should always remain confidential unless their is a probable cause and a specific warrant. No fishing expeditions. This is a Civil Liberties issue.

Re: Corruption

Someone needs to establish a PAC that bribes politicians for useful causes. If it works for the crooks, become one.
