House vote on illegal images sweeps in Wi-Fi, Web sites
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a bill saying that anyone offering an open Wi-Fi connection to the public must report illegal images including “obscene” cartoons and drawings–or face fines of up to $300,000.
That broad definition would cover individuals, coffee shops, libraries, hotels, and even some government agencies that provide Wi-Fi. It also sweeps in social-networking sites, domain name registrars, Internet service providers, and e-mail service providers such as Hotmail and Gmail, and it may require that the complete contents of the user’s account be retained for subsequent police inspection.

I am on the cusp of supporting Ron Paul in 2008, very very close, this makes me steaming mad.
Yes I know Ron Paul is Pro Life, Yes I know his views on Immigration suck, But we’re beyond those quaint issues folks, we’re talking about what it means to be an American. We’re talking about the U.S. Constitution being flushed down the toilet, and apparently only Ron Paul gives a shit.
No one else had the guts to stand up for what’s right, neither Republican nor Democrat would do the right thing, why? Because they fear the backlash of being against ANYTHING that’s deemed anti child porn, even if their very legislation makes us a police state.
Un fucking real, wake up America.

Yea, I dunno. Maybe it’s not that big a deal. Besides,….
“The second point is that Internet providers already are required by another federal law to report child pornography sightings to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which is in turn charged with forwarding that report to the appropriate police agency. So there’s hardly an emergency, which makes the Democrats’ rush for a vote more inexplicable than usual.”

What do you mean it’s not a big deal? Who determines what’s obscene? It covers drawings too, so what if you’re into Japanese Animation Hentai Porn? (I’m not by the way, everyone knows I like granny MILF Porn, but thats besides the point)…. then it’s WHOOPS… Off to jail for you, and a nice $300,000 fine for your ISP, oh ya, and you end up in a database and the cops get to inspect your computers.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
I’m seriously considering registering as a Republican in California so I can vote for Ron Paul in the Primary, Washington needs a message… NOW.

I’m not sure that’s in the legislation, the example you pose.
