All I gotta say is, wow. Not surprised considering all of the recent developments with SOPA, Google+ & an increased emphasis placed on piracy and cyber crime.
I think we'll all have some form of Internet ID or centralized tracking service in the not too distant future.

Another shortsighted law turning the burden of proof on it's head.
It is no longer up to enforcement agencies to prove you are guilty of something, it is up to you to prove to them you aren't.

Now, it seems, they are having a re-think.
Hawaiian politician backs away from Web dossier law
[news.cnet.com] A Hawaii politician who proposed requiring Internet providers to record every Web site their customers visit is now backing away from the controversial legislation.
Rep. Kymberly Pine, an Oahu Republican and the House minority floor leader, told CNET this evening that her intention was to protect "victims of crime," not compile virtual dossiers on every resident of--or visitor to--the Aloha State who uses the Internet.
"We do not want to know where everyone goes on the Internet," Pine said. "That's not our interest. We just want the ability for law enforcement to be able to capture the activities of crime."
