"Hawaii's legislature is weighing an unprecedented proposal to curb
the privacy of Aloha State residents: requiring Internet providers to
keep track of every Web site their customers visit."

Among other things, HACA would have to shut down its hotspot service,
we'd be unable to comply.

Seems like enough people were as outraged as I was, and got it shut
down:

Your data is being tracked regardless...
Its amazing how Facebook recommends people to me that it should have
no idea that I know.
[Only connection is my sending an email to the individual outside of
F.B., Google, etc. - so how do they get into my mail contacts?] ;)

Just the world we live in, the illusion of privacy, etc. - with the
things floating around the earth orbit there is no privacy anymore.

By the time it becomes 'law', etc - well its just a stating of the
obvious.

Peace
