RE: Fed Bill Would Restrict Web Server Logs

From: Andy Davidson

Speaking with my e-commerce vendor hat on, server logs (apache, mail, application audit logs) and other information about visitors (especially those who have conducted a purchase transaction with us, or signed up to our newsletter) never stop having a business purpose - it's called referential integrity.

We want to use them to track the behaviour fraudulent users for example.

Anyone who runs mailing lists has to keep that info to be able to prove how and when someone opted in. David
