Warehousing Consumers' Online Travels To Catch Child Predators and Terrorists: Privacy Implications?
Expected legislation in Congress would require Web sites and Internet service providers to retain the records of their customers' online activities for a period of time -- often referred to as "data retention." Law enforcement officials, including the Department of Justice and most state attorneys general, are proponents of such data warehousing to aid in law enforcement attempts to apprehend terrorists and child predators. Many privacy advocates oppose legislation because of the potential risks associated with unauthorized persons gaining easy access to logs of consumers' personal information or potential for misuse of information by the government. This panel explored the privacy and security implications of a legislative mandate to retain logs of consumers' online travels in central databases.

Should Congress Decree Social Networking and Chat Sites Teen-Free Zones?
Numerous Congressional hearings have probed whether chat rooms, social networking sites and chat services present a danger to children and teens. The House passed the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) that requires schools and libraries to block teens' access to such sites. Further, some policymakers have proposed requiring such sites to block access to teens outright. The panel explored whether these sites inherently present a danger to teens worthy of such measures and whether such mandates are feasible.
