The number of people using the Internet is growing at an ever increasing rate. Using the Internet has become a necessary part of our lives. While the majority of people in the US do not use the Internet regularly that will soon change.
People expect a certain degree of privacy when browsing or communicating online.
The growing Internet has made it necesarry to implement standards on privacy and cryptography. In the US there is a right to free speech, this should extend to the Internet. I do not think that people or companies have the right to send out mass emails to addvertise their product or service. There are millions of these UCE or SPAM send out every day. These are a serious burden of time on the end user and their ISP may have to upgrade their equipment to handle this additional traffic.
