| Kentucky Lawmaker Wants to Make Anonymous Internet Posting Illegal |
| 2008-03-11 |
Did some anonymous meanie say make you cry, Tim? The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site. How 'bout if I borrow yours, Tim? Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted. Unless you're doing something illegal, that is. If the bill becomes law, the website operator would have to pay if someone was allowed to post anonymously on their site. The fine would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that. Har har har! Another colossal waste of time and energy courtesy of the US House! Representative Couch says he filed the bill in hopes of cutting down on online bullying. He says that has especially been a problem in his Eastern Kentucky district. Ah, he's doing it for the children. Action News 36 asked people what they thought about the bill. Some said they felt it was a violation of First Amendment rights. Others say it is a good tool toward eliminating online harassment. If you don't like gettin harassed, go elsewhere or change your nym and/or stop acting stoopid. Stop trying to set the standards according to the lowest common denominator, Tim. How socialist. You end up going backwards every time. Representative Couch says enforcing this bill if it became law would be a challenge. I'd call this the understatement of the week. |
