A bill introduced to the US House of Representatives would require ISPs to record all users' surfing activity, IM conversations and email traffic indefinitely.http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2174524/republican-bill-calls-email
The bill, dubbed the Safety Act by sponsor Lamar Smith, a republican congressman from Texas, would impose fines and a prison term of one year on ISPs which failed to keep full records.
In addition to the complete loss of online privacy, I forsee a lot of ISPs going out of business. All that extra storage is going to cost.

I wonder what sort of jurisdiction they'd have over people who run their sites out of other countries. This could lead to a whole other kind of outsourcing.
