Annoy me, go to jail.

[quote183d3df3b2="Cnet"]A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language.

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."[/quote183d3df3b2]

I will be enforcing the new law like DUIs on Super Bowl Sunday here at FIPG. If you annoy one of the users, you'll likely get a fine. Annoy me, and I'm pushing for jail. (Unless, of course, you use your real name.)

Hi my name is JohnJones please send me to jail.

Welcome to fascism.

Take a number please.

haha...what a stupid idea...another example of the government in action protecting us all....

that's a lot of lalala/rolling eyes....

Just extending the laws of the paper world to the e-world. You would want somebody to be fined or thrown in jail if someone was writing threatening and harassing letters to your children and family. I don't see how that's different from laws regulating harassing letters to your mailbox. In fact there was a similar case involving a person sending sexually explicit material to someone's house who didn't want it and the government found this to be unacceptable and the vendor did not have a first amendment right to send it (Rowan vs. United States Post Office Department). A similar problem could have arose on the internet.

They can barely enforce spam laws.

This law should be enforced only in very specific instances. For example, if I sent you threatening emails/messages to you and you truly felt in danger, then this would be a good reason to react.

If I tell you that I think you're dumb in an argument over an issue (not that I think so, this is just an example), then I don't think that the police should be coming to knock at my door.

Booga Booga X 100000 infinity!

I think I will send an email to my local congressman with this law quoted; followed by the "O RLY" owl.... hehehe

GOOD ONE!

I would just like to say to johnjimjones that thread stretching really annoys me.

Yeah, i agree.

lmao.. hilarious.

You guys are looking at this all wrong. I saw Bush interview on the net last night and it annoyed the shit out of me. He's going down...

The Supreme Court will strike this down; it's a clear violation of the 1st amendment.

why? who ever said this was bush's doing?

Its his administration and its his party that runs the congress and senate. He proabably got flamed while on SA forums and ran out to make the law...

Just because Congress/Senate are Republican majority doesn't mean it was Bush's idea.

Its his party. He is the leader of it. Oh and...

[quotede87fdb7d6]It's no joke. Last Thursday, [bde87fdb7d6]President Bush signed into law[/bde87fdb7d6] a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity.[/quotede87fdb7d6]
