Firewalls set to become illegal in many American states

Citing security researcher Edward Felten, the article discusses that
legislation put forward in Texas, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Alaska, Tennessee and Colorado could outlaw the use of firewalls,
routers, network address translators and many other common technologies
because they conceal "the existence or place of origin or destination" of
communications. The story has not been officially confirmed, and it is
likely that the language of the bills will be changed once the potential
consequences become apparent.
