    Default Anonymous flaming now illegal in Unites States

    http://news.com.com/Create+an+e-anno...2491&subj=news

    President Bush just signed a bill making it illegal to "post annoying Web messages or send annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity."

    It was part of a bill concerning stalking and harrassment, so I guess it sorta kinda makes sense in that context maybe, but the law sounds to ridiculously vague that we could use it to try and prosecute members who flame anonymously!

    It sounds nice, but I don't think it'll ever work effectively. How the hell are you supposed to enforce that? "Joe Smitty, you are under arrest for not logging in on LJ and calling someone a poophead "

    Provided it's used sensibly, this could be a wonderful thing. But using it sensibly might be a bit much for certain Americans.

    PHEW! I am safe. There is no way that law would ever hold up in any court as annoying is a personal thing and can't really be defined.

    In the end I think this is fake anyways.

    Lindy, I think it'd be fair to know that I have alerted the Fed as to your illegal activities. They will be in your presence to speak with you shortly.

    Yeah, the Fed. He's like a FBI Superhero. Flying around on his briefcase solving crimes that usually involve drug smuggling and people insulting eachother on the interweb.
