America is doing it again.
The act is named: The Protect Children From Online Pornographers Act of 2011
What it does is...
Further investigation into this bill shows us that it removes the requirement for law enforcement to get a warrant before looking into someone's browsing history. They need only "suspect" that a crime had been committed. Internet service providers would be forced by law to keep records of their customers' browsing activities for up to a year in case law enforcement wanted to go looking through them.
