> <i>the RISAA legislation expands the definition of "electronic communications service provider" (ECSR) to include data centers and commercial landlords—businesses, he says, that "merely have access to communications equipment in their physical space." According to Zwillinger, RISAA may also ensnare anyone "with access to such facilities and equipment, including delivery personnel, cleaning contractors, and utilities providers."</i><p>Incredibly disappointing & massive power grab. It's absurd to think of data center providers now having to go rip computers out of racks & hand them over, whether or not that helps actually any investigation or not (like when the feds find out everything is encrypted on the systems).<p>It's so disappointing seeing how far the ideas in the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace got, and how absurdly insanely bitterly the governments of the world are intent on making sure people cannot communicate with each other. What an incredibly & horrible pendulum swing.
