Best Practices for Online Service Providers

  Online service providers (OSPs)  are vital links between their users
  and the Internet, offering bandwidth, email,  web and other Internet
  services.  Because of  their  centrality, however,  OSPs face  legal
  pressures from all sides: from users, industry, and government. Here
  we offer information  for people who run  and  use OSPs in  order to
  help  them make  sound, ethical  decisions   about how  to safeguard
  private data and preserve freedom of expression online.

Legal and Technical Policy Suggestions for Data Logging

  As an intermediary,  the OSP finds itself in  a position  to collect
  and store detailed information  about  its  users and their   online
  activities that may be of  great interest to  third parties. The USA
  PATRIOT Act  also provides  the  government with expanded  powers to
  request this   information. As a result,  OSP  owners must deal with
  requests from law enforcement and lawyers to  hand over private user
  information and logs. Yet, compliance  with these demands takes away
  from an OSP's goal of  providing users with reliable, secure network
  services. In this paper, EFF offers some suggestions, both legal and
  technical,  for best practices  that  balance the  needs of OSPs and
  their users' privacy and civil liberties.
