I knew we'd have to remain vigilant after SOPA/PIPA, but give me a break.

Looks like this is being discussed in numerous places on Tech Hui. Good!

Karen - Great idea. I just sent him a message:

Re: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&bi...

Dear Rep Mizuno,

Can you please post on your Facebook page who suggested this legislation to you and why? It is going in the opposite direction of the increasing calls for more online privacy, not less!

I hope you are seeing the dramatic changes regarding SOPA and PIPA and will withdraw this bill so it can truly address computer crime and not violate the privacy of Hawaii citizens nor overburden the internet service providers.

Mahalo,

Roxanne Darling

Rep John Mizumo is on Facebook - send him a message reminding him of SOPA and what happens when the wrath of the Internet descends on your head. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001076881905

And don't forget to submit testimony:
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/submittestimony.aspx?billtype=HB&...   Type in HB2288 to bring up the testimony page.

Here's what I wrote:

Dear Legislators,

This bill violates the First Amendment and most likely the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.


In addition to its chilling effect on free speech, it's unwarranted spying on U.S. citizens, it also imposes an onerous burden on ISPs.  Have you even calculated the cost in terms of simply storing these records?

Please kill this bill right away before it goes any farther.

Thank you

I already sent email.  Here is his address in case you'd like to do the same: repmizuno@capitol.hawaii.gov

More than the big brother aspect and the guilty until proven innocent aspect, there is the added financial burden on internet companies, which are already struggling, to buy expensive equipment to comply with this should it move forward.  Lastly, it does not say what companies can or can not do with the collected info extra-governmentally, such as sell the data to advertisers.

Very Bad Bill in Hawaii ...

Rep John MIzuno of Oahu is lead sponsor of a new bill that requiring the creation of virtual dossiers on state residents. The measure, H.B. 2288, says "Internet destination history information" and "subscriber's information" such as name and address must be saved for two years.  H.B. 2288, which was introduced Friday, says the dossiers must include a list of Internet Protocol addresses and domain names visited.

We need to stop this thing ASAP.

And then get rid of anyone who sponsored or supports it.

Hmmm drank a cup of coffee and now I see the group on MyGroup.

Yeah Maui Coffee Roasters!

A couple days ago, I noticed Maui Techies had somehow become a 'pending' group.  Daniel fixed that pretty quick.  Today I went to MyGroups page and didnt see Maui Techies.  It is obviously here and I was able to navigate to it via other paths, but it did not show up on the MyGroups page. 

That or my eyes arent working right this early.  Got up to watch the FIRST Robotics Competition kickoff (6 intense weeks coming up!).

Btw its about time for Maui Techies to have a face-to-face meeting again.  Who wants to organize this one?

Comment by Jerry Isdale on December 8, 2011 at 5:47pm

Doug - I'll be there.  I'm flying over with Garrett early saturday morning (by the light of the eclipsed moon- well formerly eclipsed as thats over around 5am)

We are both staying the night and coming back (on diff flights) sunday.  I hear there are some others heading over too.

If Mauian TechHuians want to meet there is a robata grill called Tsukuneya right across the street. If you guys want to meet after the conference I'm happy to join you

We did this at a previous conference and it was fun. Any Mauians headed over, and up for dinner after?
