In stark contrast with the UK a former federal computer crimes prosecutor believes that ISP Content Filtering Might be a ‘Five Year Felony’
University of Colorado law professor Paul Ohm, argues that ISPs such as Comcast, AT&T and Charter Communications that are or are contemplating ways to throttle bandwidth, police for copyright violations and serve targeted ads by examining their customers’ internet packets are putting themselves in criminal and civil jeopardy by breaking federal wiretapping laws.
In spite of this I’m sure that there will be a push by the US government as there has been here in the UK for ISPs to start doing this.
