Its possible that the argument is that all visitors at Google are recorded and thus those logs are the same as logging network users.
Curious though, I glanced briefly at the wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_L... ) and it seems mostly about hardware needing to be CAPABLE of logging, not always logging already. Can you explain your first statement?
- rcoder 17y agoMy understanding is that CALEA effectively requires you to associate an identity with each active network node, so that requests for a "wiretap" could be addressed more or less in real-time, rather than after the fact. Being able to tap into hardware to observe active network streams is only one piece of the puzzle; you also have to be able to figure out which connections belong the the subject of the wiretap request, which in most cases means associating a name with an IP address.
