The following is a dramatization, it’s what the writer of this blog envision happened when the proposed law discussed was hatched.
A couple of idiot lawmakers in the state where I reside came up with a “splendid” idea. Let’s come up the most asinine law that we can come up with. After scratching their heads and surfing the web they came up with their “plan”. Let’s make a law where any interactive service provider has to ask for the most personal of information for their comments to be allowed on their forums or blogs, and let’s fine those interactive service providers if they don’t. Sounds like a great idea eh? Well, they say that the reason they did it was to stop internet bullying. Now they couldn’t have come up with more educated ways of doing this like, eh, getting a search warrant, getting ISP’s to hand over IP addresses, and then target those people. No, that was much to easy. They had to come up with a hard way to do this.
To read more about this idea, and it’s conclusion you can read two fine pieces penned by my husband over at Why I May Be Forced To Move My Business, and Follow Up On Kentucky HB775. What fine politicians we have here in Rep. Couch and Rep. Higdon. Maybe now they can come up with more worthwhile legislation.
