FBI Wants to Force Internet Companies to Make Their Sites Surveillance-Ready

If you are paranoid about the rise of a police state, it's time to pull out your metaphorical tin foil hat: according to Cnet, the FBI is attempting to strong-arm companies such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft into making their websites and services "wiretap-friendly."

As if CISPA and SOPA weren't already bad enough, Cnet says that, if permitted, this proposal would be amended to the 18-year-old CALEA legislature, which requires telecommunications companies to make their communication lines accessible for wiretaps.
