I can't find the link to the article at the moment but when I do I'll post it (it was new scientist for anyone interested)  |
I don't see how this tragic event would have been avoided. Making internet users more easily identifiable to the authorities would certainly have made the computer forensic's job slightly quicker but the crime had already been committed anyway.
It might help in cases where a person has gone missing and has possibly gone to meet someone they chatted to on the internet whereby the police will need the info fast without having to go through loads of policy and paperwork to get access to the info. How far do you go though.
