The End of Net Anonymity In Brazil
Found on Slashdot on Sunday, 05 November 2006
The Brazilian senate is considering a bill that will make it a crime to join a chat, blog, or download from the Internet without fully identifying oneself first. Privacy groups and Internet providers are very concerned, and are trying to lobby against the bill, but it seems they won't have much success.
If approved, it will be a crime, punishable with up to 4 years of jail time, to disseminate virus or trojans, unauthorizedly access data banks or networks and send e-mail, join chat, write a blog or download content anonymously.
Remember kids, never ever reveal any personal information online, except if you post somewhere on the Internet. Seriously, what are those politicians thinking? I see lots of traffic coming to TOR.
