So, let me make sure I got this right: One (1) state in one (1) country is attempting to pass one (1) law that will have authority and jurisdiction over the membership procedures of every (ALL) "social networking" (poorly defined category of) websites. Oh yeah, this will end well.
The Connecticut bill, which is scheduled for a public hearing on Thursday, would apply to any organized online networking organization, including chat rooms.
Under the proposal, any networking site that fails to verify ages and obtain parental permission of users under 18 would face civil fines up to $5,000 per violation. Sites would have to check information about parents to make sure it is legitimate. Parents would be contacted directly when necessary.
No, this system isn't full of holes and ridiculous demands at all. Nope. |
