Declan McCullagh reports that “FBI Director Robert Mueller told a House of Representatives committee that Internet service providers should be required to keep records of users’ activities for two years.” Not only is this a giant unfunded mandate that deputizes private companies, but it’s incredibly intrusive. How is this different from the Postal Service opening, photocopying, and archiving your mail before delivering it?
