"Internet Watch List" Identifies Dangerous Legislation

"INTERNET WATCH LIST" IDENTIFIES DANGEROUS LEGISLATION
[SOURCE: Center for Democracy & Technology]
As Congress mounts its final push before the midterm elections, a number of bills that threaten the bedrock of Internet privacy and civil liberties could either come up for votes or worm their way into larger legislative packages that end up being rushed into law. The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) issued its "Internet Watch List," which contains nine legislative efforts that should not be allowed to succeed in the so-called "silly season" at the end of the 109th Congress. In the coming weeks, CDT will urge lawmakers, journalists and the online public to keep close watch on these legislative efforts to ensure that this collection of bad ideas doesn't become a collection of bad laws. Note #6 on the list: "Telecom Bill Without Internet Neutrality."
