Bill could mean jail for Internet flamers
Posted: 11:32 AM ET
A cyberbullying bill introduced last month has the potential to put half the Internet behind bars.

The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act is Congress’ response to the 2006 suicide of a 13-year-old girl who was harassed on MySpace. The bill makes electronic communication a felony if “the intent is to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person.”

Congressmen probably aren’t the most Web-savvy bunch, but anyone familiar with trolling, flaming, and various other forms of online bullying could see a problem with this bill.

Network World examines the bill and explains this new breed of Internet criminal:

"Given the freewheeling exchanges that characterize everything from SMS text messages and instant messaging to blogs and Web site comments, the broadly written bill potentially could turn a lot of flamers and bloggers into felons."

Amid growing online criticism, bill sponsor Rep. Linda Sanchez defended the Cyberbullying Prevention Act in a Huffington Post article this month:

"Congress has no interest in censoring speech and it will not do so if it passes this bill. Put simply, this legislation would be used as a tool for a judge and jury to determine whether there is significant evidence to prove that a person “cyberbullied” another… So — bloggers, emailers, texters, spiteful exes, and those who have blogged against this bill have no fear — your words are still protected under the same American values."

While Rep. Sanchez’s assurances may be comforting, judges tend to follow the wording of a law rather than its sponsor’s intent. So before you text your cheating ex, slam those Apple forum fanboys, or call me a ‘moron’ in the comments, consider the possible consequences of this new bill, or at least put your lawyer’s number on speed dial.

I'll let you settle out of court with me, don't worry. :D

[ElvenFury]

You'll be the prettiest gal on your cell block. Have fun! ;-)

figured they get around to covering e-mail/im's with the same blanket as harassing phone calls. I'm a bit surprised it took this long though. I anticipate much enjoyment from the messes that ensue from this slippery slope though.
:popcorn:

[Sean of the Thread]

slippery slope and the constitution come to mind.

Harassing phone calls is another story however. The person being harassed isn't a willing participant.

Send me your boob pics or I'll report you to the FBI.

Kthnx.

[Tisket]

Enforcement would be a nightmare I'd think. Besides, there are already laws in place for harrassment and hate speech. Enforce the laws we have already, don't create more.

[Tisket]

FUCKERS!

Whew, that felt good. Just because.

[Stanley Burrell]

Breaking the law! Breaking the law! Breaking the law!

[Tisket]

Oh no she didn't.

I didn't say I enjoyed it.

But I did.

[Tisket]

Man, it's like I have the internet version of Tourette's Syndrome now. Since reading about that bill all I want to do is call you guys names.

Fuckers.

[Proxy]

Lol, I can just see it now, some yuts from the gov registers on the PC after the pill goes through, then starts to systematicly post correction and "legal" warrnings ever six seconds due to PC standard content posts. wait... I want that job, get paid to be a troll, where the f' do I sign up?

[Solkern]

I'd figure a simple disclaimer, will do wonders, against this law.

[Back]

I’m innocent. Its all the stupid fucks on the fucking internet that drove me to calling them stupid fucks!

[Proxy]

Those F'ers!!! They should keel them selves damn it!

[Tisket]

All thin-skinned internet cunts should be hunted down by laser wielding zombie bats and devoured.

[Proxy]

now that is poetry

[Bhuryn]

Can't we all just get along?

Drugs? Flowers? Peace? Free Love?

[ElvenFury]

Tisket, just go leap off a bridge. Everyone thinks that you're a five dollar whore with a cavernous vag the size of Rhode Island, anyway. Even your mom hates you. Rumor is that she purposefully choked herself to death on her favorite horse's cock just to avoid having to raise such a worthless child. The few members of your family that do still talk to you only do so because they feel pity for God's most hideous of creations. Honestly, the world would be better off without you. Please let me know if you'd like to meet your mother in the afterlife. I can help send you out the same way.

:rofl:

[diethx]

lol @ this thread.

On a serious note though, maybe instead of worrying about cyberbullying, they should make it a crime for bullying to exist in middle/high school. Maybe if they cracked down on that shit we wouldn't end up with people like Backlash and therefore wouldn't need to resort to cyberbullying (BECAUSE IT'S TOO EASY)!

No. Having strict safe search enabled is a bitch for porn google searches.
