[The Batt?sai]

Bye bye myspace, facebook, perhaps anandtech forums? :Q

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?

 

[imported_Mike]

There was a guy gibber jabbing about this in FI earlier in the week. I couldn't care less about it.

This is completely ridiculous. Lord knows why we still have schools: congregating all the children into one central place for all the child molestors to find them? Oh noes! Quick, give them to the mongolians!

 

[ViRGE]

Meh, they'll grow out of it.

 

[TitanDiddly]

I vote for lobotomy at 13.

 

[Miramonti]

If these morons keep it up, I'm packing my bags for good and moving out of china.

 

[venk]

Why don't we just get a "Drivers License" for the Internet.

 

[eshtog]

Good myspace blows

 

[Sluggo]

Well if the government moves at its usual nominal pace, this should become effective right around March of 2034.

Assuming the house and senate can get the differences in their respective versions hammered out in a committee or 3.

Good to see our government taking care of the important things in this world. :roll: Oh, one more thing, STOP TRYING TO REGULATE THE INTERNET.

 

[drinkmorejava]

lol wtf, good thing I can own assault rifles, even some republicans deserve a taste of their own medicine.

OMG SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!!

When will people understand that in the "cyber world" just like the real world, you must use street smarts to survive.
If you can't hack that, then move over and let the people who can, move on.

 

[Descartes]

Sounds like nothing more than a politician just trying to get some publicity after the Dateline episodes.

 

[Dissipate]

This legislation is moronic. Even if it does pass there is no way in hell they are going to be able to enforce it.

Since when have the senate and congress used "street smarts?"

Since when have they used even what is deemed to be "common sense?"

I dunno, I think with my penis.

 

[Miramonti]

I think a bill should be introduced banning Republicans from introducing bills.

Internet Censoring Routing is already in place, just a couple of clicks and done.

 

[DaiShan]

LOL another craptastic wannabe replacement for good parenting. I'm all for the sterilization of people that think it's ok to let their kids do whatever they please, including meeting people on the Internet.

 

[Anghang]

it'll never happen

Well it's a bit more complicated than that, but Cisco does already have the necessary technology developed. They can also charge individuals per byte downloaded on the net, should that ever become legal.

Once again, our politicians approach things backwards.
