The House Judiciary Committee approved legislation on Thursday that would require Internet service providers (ISPs) to collect and retain records about Internet users' activity.
CNET reported the bill would require ISPs to retain customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses for 12 months.
The bill passed by a vote of 19 to 10, and is aimed at helping law enforcement track down pedophiles.
"The bill is mislabeled," Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), a senior member of the panel told CNET. "This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes."

This has actually precious little to do with finding pedophiles, and everything to do with spying on everyone using the net.
Lawmakers are about to push the American people under a bus with this legislation, and into the dark abyss of Code Napoleon Law, where everyone was considered guilty until proven innocent.
First and 4th Amendment to the Constitution, rest in peace; between this pending legislation, the Patriot Act, and the consistent, brutal beatings you have received at the hands of the likes of Janet Napolitano, Director of Homeland "Security" and John Pistole, Director of the TSA (Travel Suppression Agency), you have been thrown out as functioning legal protections for American citizens.
