Most of you know that I compete with the Anonymizer by providing
my own Anonymizing Public Proxy on the Internet.
This is perfectly legal since the Supremes have upheld anonymous speech
in case after case.
I provide better free features like SSL and ease of use unlike Anonymizer.

There are times when anonymity on the Internet is a requirement.
It looks like that may all end soon. DoubleClick will love this.
My companies days are numbered. It's the "broad new powers" part that
should worry IT professionals, especially ISPs.

U.S. Wants to Trace Net Users

WASHINGTON -- The ease of hiding one's
identity on the Net is giving police
migraines and justifies providing broad
new powers to law enforcement, the
White House says in a forthcoming report.
The federal government should take steps
to improve online traceability and promote
international cooperation to identify
Internet users, according to a draft of
the report commissioned by President
Clinton.
