Lawmaker Wants to Ban Anonymous Online Postings

well this guy can suck my left............... never you mind if I want to keep this way its my right and if he wants his ident stolen then he better watch out because hackers will go gunning for him soon enough if he keep trying to push the issue..

I agree it's a Dumb Idea however it came about from a sad story of a Louisville area 18 year old Girl whom Killed Herself after continued Harassment from Cyber Bullying and Death Threats on Her MY Space or Face Book page by Students in her H.S. that made fun of Her Small Build and liking Geeks . As for the Bill it will Fail but it was trying to make people aware of online preditors and punks that bring misery to some.

not to mention that other countries will still be anonymous. its just a stupid idea no matter what way you look at it. i cant even think of a single instance that this would be a good thing.

This has got to be one of the dumbest and illogical bill ot have been thought up! isnt this close to being totalitarian or dictator like? i mean if you want to be anonymous stay that way but it want to risk identity theft and share personal info go ahead but please dont come around trying to get people to do things that are smart only from your perception!!! shit i mean this is the world wide web we are talking about!...anyways people can just think up fake names and use it like i do!! Heheh

i bet he's a scientologist or scientology has him in their pocket.

I doubt that this Bill will be passed. Require sites to force it's posters to give thier name etc.? HA! Not only can fake info be given but what about those who choose to really give out thier real info? Can you say "Possible Identity Theft"? I think people have the right to stay anonymous if they choose too! Kinda like sayin' if you witness a crime you no longer have the right to stay "anonymous" when you make the report.

Now................theres a guy [Tim Couch] we need runnin things ...... oh boy With representatives like him .....we ARE in trouble...
