Installment of The Homeland Security Act

Topic Choice 1: If I Ruled the Internet

For my blog I have chosen the topic, If I Ruled the Internet. Within this blog I will be discussing the topic of the Governments regulation on the Internet, but more specifically on The United States Patriot Act. This act installed by the U.S. Government empowers government agents to sift through e-mails and Internet traffic logs to detect "patterns of terrorist activity." The issue that I have with this policy is how long the government is allowed to keep ISPs and search engines on file detailing our online activities. The U.S. government wants to keep them for years where as other government, such as The European Union, only keeps records for a month or two.
