Title: HR 1981(internet activitity big brother bill) and bitcoin Post by: nighteyes on August 09, 2011, 05:26:17 PM Ordinarily I would think this (http://rt.com/usa/news/internet-1981-law-patriot/ (http://rt.com/usa/news/internet-1981-law-patriot/) ) has no chance of passing, but a lot of orgs are for it, so who knows.....it did pass the House judiciary committee....so if it does happen, what happens to bitcoin? Seems like recording all internet activity by ISPs would kill bitcoin's confidentiality for most users, but what do I know?

If this passes, I'll just be a full-time citizen of TORville. |
