p2pnet.net News:- A politician in Brazil is calling for a new law that’ll make it a crime, punishable by up to 4 years in jail, for anyone to anonymously send an email, join a chat, write a blog, download content, disseminate virus or trojans, and access data banks or networks without proper authorization.

Senator Eduardo Azeredo’s bill would, "require every ISP to store each connection performed by a user for at least 3 years," says Real-Time Society, going on:

"The bill states that every user must fully identify herself before using the Net, with full name, current address, phone number and the equivalent of the Social Security Number. To access the Net without providing this information, or to give false information, will also be a crime.

Azeredo also wants to, "legally recommend every Internet user to buy the government approved certificate, and use it on every connection to the Net," says the post, adding:

"Now that’s what you call a democracy.

Hopefully, critics of the proposed bill, "will be able to lobby some sense into Senator Eduardo Azeredo," says Real-Time Society. But, "If this unfortunate bill gets the green light, please start learning how to surf anonymously using TOR or similar tool."
