Google's Peter Fleischer makes some good and sensible commentscomments in this IHT story reported on CNet. The reporter says Germany's Ministry of Justice is proposing legislation that would "prohibit using false information to create an e-mail account, making the standard Internet practice of creating accounts with pseudonyms illegal", and describes a draft law in the Netherlands "requiring phone companies to save records of a caller's precise location during an entire mobile phone conversation."
