Post: new law against annoying internet messages?
Posted by Carol on 1/13/06
Does anyone know anything about a provision of HR 3402 (Violence Against Women Act)signed into law last week that penalizes sending "annoying" e-mail messages without disclosing the sender's true identity? I have read references to it on other sites, but have no idea what the provision actually says. I actually tried looking at the bill but couldn't find it before my eyes glazed over. Anyone know? I am wondering what the affect would be on sites like this. Is everyone who engages in a flame war now guilty of a federal crime? any thoughts? Who would report? Who would prosecute? Or is it just a bunch of mularky, there is no such provision?
