4 February 2000  IETF Excludes Wiretapping
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has voted against
incorporating
wiretapping capabilities into the next generation of Internet protocols.
The IETF says that because it is an international standards
organization,
incorporating net wiretapping would subject the rest of the world to US
law.  The IETF also expressed concerns that built-in net tapping
capabilities hold the potential for abuse.
