Anonymity + Internet == Less Rights?

[J. Francois]

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.
See: http://www.magusnet.com/proxy.html

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
                        by Declan McCullagh (declan@wired.com)

                        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.
