:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY: 321GFY:321GFY:321GFY is that hostile enough? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fucking amazing.

That bill is in response to the girl that committed suicide because another girls mother posted some very derogatory things about her... the girl that killed herself was obviously in need of help... but I don't think this bill will make it through committee.

This thread is emotionally distressing, I mean come on you guys! quit ittttt.

Law prof Eugene Volokh blogs about a U.S. House of Representatives bill proposed by Rep. Linda T. Sanchez and 14 others that could make it a federal felony to use your blog, social media like MySpace and Facebook, or any other web media "To Cause Substantial Emotional Distress Through "FREEDOM" Speech."

Fixed.

I think instead they should do a international digital fingerprint system to get online. You get rid of the ability to hide most of the other bullshit would go away.

Yep, and I feel for that mother and agree that she should pursue charges.. against the perpetrator of the incident. Which unfortunately for the mom, wasn't the medium, it was the woman who persuaded her daughter that the world would be better off without her.

I mean it would literally make a place like GFY or facetwitspace responsible for, not what people TYPE, but how a reader FEELS after reading!

Retardculous!

:1orglaugh

haha thats stupid

wrong thread........

Yikes, that scares me as much as this proposed law. :Oh crap

It is emotionally distressing to me that people are posting about this. Please turn yourselves in to the nearest police station.

offshore vpns sound like a good long term investment, eh?

That's fucked up.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

With any luck common sense will prevail and nothing will come of this silly bill.

I hope the judge throws the book at that POS who caused the girl's suicide however.

well, go to any public place (not the internet) and follow someone around harrassing them, name calling and see what happens.

there are definitely some punks on this board who mouth off for no reason other than their ignorance and to harrass others.

welcome to the real world...

Every day I log on to this site I am being greeted by hostile speech, telling me to go fuck myself! :helpme

I bet the big G are already on it. No need for ID cookies any more!

naaa there needs to be something inplace to protect people from serial nutjobs :2 cents:

:Oh crap

Sounds like Americans on GFY won't be able to bash the living hell out someone in a hostile way. Kind of like..... life.

"Severe, Repeated, and Hostile" Speech."

You can get banned on GFY for such attacks. too. Almost all other boards will ban ya well before GFY would.


What sucks is 'people' take the attacks on the Internet to seriously. And Companies actually need protection from groups of people that do nothing but attack. Thus a law like this is bound to make it through, if not now - it will at some point.

Light will win. Humans will soon be able to have inter magnet net inside themslefs. that no one can close.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Google search results make me distressed all the time.
Take those bastards down!

Outlawing rudeness is absurd. Every tragedy in the world is not preventable by government.
