all of whom have committed violations of americans privacy and rights supposedly protected by the fourth amendment of the us constitution the real privacy bill of rights is already in the bill of rights so say to look at that fourth amendment the right of the people to be secure in their persons houses papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place is the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seize so this is supposed to protect us from government not private entities that we deal with voluntarily supporters of this bill might say that we need the government to protect us from corporations but what we really need and what our founders knew even before the internet is protection from government senators mccain and kerry couldn't care less about your personal privacy as they do nothing with this bill to address the real threats to privacy that come from our government but it gets worse just today democrat senator dick durbin from illinois an ounce of legislation he'll be

of their own citizens so go out and vote. yesterday senators john mccain and john kerry introduced a bill establishing an internet privacy bill of rights something that consumers and civil liberties organizations have been waiting for for a long time now this measure would create rules that would force internet companies to explain to users how they collect their data who's going to be able to view it and how they intend to keep it safe so for those companies wanting to get their hands on your info think of your name their e-mail address maybe even your credit card numbers they won't be able to do that without your individual consent and web companies would also have to offer users the ability to opt out of data collection and all tech giants like e bay microsoft intel and h.p. are all signed on privacy groups are saying that this bill isn't going far enough so let's figure out what the pros and the cons are here are the scotts the with me is technology reporter for the hill thanks so much for being here tonight now you know like i said this is something that i think has been a long time coming a lot of groups have been waiting for tho

kerry and mccain say the cyber privacy bill of rights design a framework to protect personal informationnline. >> right now there is no law protecting the information we share. companies can harvest our personal information online and keep it for as long as they like. they can sell it without asking permission or even letting you know they are selling your own information. you shouldn't have to be a computer genius in order in order to be able to opt out of information sharing. >> there is already critics. experts point out it doesn't apply to data mining that government and police use to collect and monitor your personal information online. >>> if you have a need for speed while cruising the internet, get ready, it's here. comcast is expected to announce a new residential service called extreme 105. it's available to 40 million customers including san francisco. comcast says the service delivers data at 105 megabits per second, translation, 60 times faster than a t-1 line but not the fastest. verizon offers speed up to 150 megabits but it doesn't reach as many homes. comcast is offering
