My Way News - Gov't won't classify proxies as 'sophisticated'
AP reports: "The U.S. government has dropped - for now - a plan to classify the use of 'proxy' servers as evidence of sophistication in committing a crime. Proxy servers are computers that disguise the source of Internet traffic. They are commonly used for legitimate purposes, like evading Internet censors and working from home. But they can also be used to hide from law enforcement."

Comment: This is good news. It would have been counterproductive for the government to place a legal burden on the use of a technology that does a lot of good in the area of privacy and information security.
