Colleges protesting federal call to upgrade online systems -NYT

The federal government, vastly extending the reach of an 11-year-old law, is requiring hundreds of universities, online communications companies and cities to overhaul their Internet computer networks to make it easier for law enforcement authorities to monitor e-mail and other online communications.

The order, issued by the Federal Communications Commission in August and first published in the Federal Register last week, extends the provisions of a 1994 wiretap law not only to universities, but also to libraries, airports providing wireless service and commercial Internet access providers.

Here they come. They can't afford to allow freedom of information. Think of it as one of their "no protest zones".

Is it fascism yet?

They can't afford our freedom of information.
