Dear God. Censoring half the Internet because of a couple isolated incidents is fucking insane. I'd much rather have my kid on MySpace than at some party with drugs and alcohol. I'd much rather my kid be IMng friends than at a mall unsupervised with predators.
Read through the bill guys, it's really scary. It is so vague that they can literally ban all e-mail, IM, message board, social site on the web.
This is no solution to the problem. The problem is our government not going after online predators and punishing them. I hear on the news about sex offenders getting out and re-offending all the time. Make some fucking tough punishments and quit with the slaps on the wrist.
Another novel idea, EDUCATION. Why not teach kids about the dangers of the net? Why not tell kids what happens? Let them hear the stories of what has happened. Shit, when I saw a video about what happens when you drive without a seat belt, I have worn mine ever since. All this does is push predators to different areas to get their victims. Education and tougher punishments is how you stop this shit.
