A new bill being drafted by a secret government task force would impose fines on internet companies — such as Facebook, Google, gaming and VoIP companies — if they don't comply with court orders to allow law enforcement to wiretap on user communications, The Washington Post reports. According to the The Post, the legislation is being written up to address the FBI's recent complaints that many web companies don't or can't comply with court orders forcing them to "intercept online communications" in real-time. The FBI calls this the "going dark" problem.
