The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly pressing ISPs keep a
record of all sites visited by customers for a period of two years.
According to CNet, the FBI believes that taking this measure could help
it in investigations of child pornography and other serious crimes.
Citing a bureau attorney said at a federal task force meeting on
Thursday, CNet's Declan McCullagh reports that FBI Director Robert
Mueller (pictured) supports storing Internet users' "origin and
destination information." McCullagh goes on to say that Mueller has
backed this kind of data retention at the hands of ISPs for as long as
four years and in 2008, he asked Congress to enact a law making it
mandatory.
