This is horrible, no doubt about it.
>""Suspicious" content is defined as any post, private message, comment, tag, transaction, or "any other user-generated content or transmission" that government officials later determine "commits, facilitates, incites, promotes, or otherwise assists the commission of a major crime." Major crimes are defined as anything involving violence, domestic, or international terrorism, or a "serious drug offense.""
So not only is this extremely vague and prone to abuse, there's also this gem:
>"For each suspicious post, services must submit a Suspicious Transmission Activity Report (STAR) within 30 days, providing the user's name, location, and other identifying information, as well as any relevant metadata."
I just can't help but be incensed at the kind of bills these stodgy old senators put forward. Even worse, it seems to be "bi-partisan" and is much more likely to actually go somewhere.
