I might be getting rid of my computer soon and I have been looking into ways of cleaning my personal info off of it.
While searching the internet I found out about the government trying to get isp's to keep your internet records for 2 years!
I never really paid much attention to this stuff but I started thinking about it a lot recently.
I have put so much personal info like ALL of my banking and investing and my businesss info out online and so many private emails to friends and family that are intended for no one to view but the person I sent them to. Not to mention other things that can be embarrassing like medical conditions and I'm sure I'm one of the few that has done this...surfing girlie sites!
I got to thinking if this actually went through my ISP pretty much owns my whole life!
I feel like just driving and talking in person to my friends and family after learning about this stuff. I know it can catch criminals maybe but to me it's like someone installing a camera in your bedroom and bathroom.
I think it should be an invasion of privacy to keep records of this stuff.
Anyway just wondering if anyone out there that knows more about this stuff than I do knows if the ISP's do keep all of that info for 2 years..or if not how long they do keep it.
I'm with verizon dsl.
