FBI Recommends ISP Not Delete Data in Two Years

The FBI asked the Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the United States recording data of all sites visited by the consumer and does not delete it until two years. The policy was deliberately excluded in order to assist the law enforcement agencies in investigating cases involving the Internet such as child pornography or a more serious problem others. FBI Director Robert Mueller said, not only emphasizing the FBI only to the rules for data storage site visit in a long time.

Many other institutions that support this idea. "The FBI always seeks to maintain existing capacity to conduct criminal investigations. Previously, federal regulation since 1986 has required telephone companies to offer toll services should not delete the data names, addresses, phone numbers in and out and so over a period of 18 months , "Mueller said. This policy is still being discussed. If this rule be implemented, ISPs will only record data that will really for the benefit of law enforcement in the region and the local state. This is one of the representatives stated ISPs in the U.S., via Verizon Wireless spokesman Drew Arena.

"We will not carelessly storing URL information available on our network. We will provide law enforcement separately in the local area with the requirements really tight, that they really need it for investigation purposes," said Arena. This policy will also raise the possibility that requires Internet service providers active in the investigation to come to log into Internet protocol address, domain or URL of the actual sites visited by a particular customer.
