“Anonymous Poster” means “any individual who posts a message on a web
site including social networks, blogs, forums, message boards, or any
other discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of
posted messages.”
probably has alot to do with the sluts getting their nudes “stolen” and posted up on ugotposted.com and the old isanyoneup.com and not having a good way to demand they are taken off.
its upon request, and says Shall… as in to me still sounds like its the administrators dicresssion to follow the request. but I am sure there will be penalties if they dont.
It also mean there has to be a complant form, process, and some schmucks job to surf around, find the comment, find the admin, contact the admin, give them there orders, I am sure there is a turnaround time for that request…
All the while, people right click SAVE AS the nudes posted from the dumb bitch complaining about it and they are never going to stay offline.
It aint going to help everyone, and I dont see how it will be any vast improvement for our “online life”.
it’s a law that isn’t needed and i agree a gross overstep of boundaries. That right there is reason enough to do everything to fight it. Just one other form of government censorship that allows them control of what you see and read. It’s bad enough they run the media already.
no law is needed imo. i agree with your posts. but remember when pitman said we as people dont need laws. we need morals. i posted a bunch of times about that.
they run media, they teach your kids in school, they teach your kids in college, they control too much imo.
Morals are laws just without enforcement or fine or motivation to follow, and morals are useless because they aren’t universal. What’s moral for one person is immoral for the other. Everybody makes their own.
Was this bill something that passed or merely drafted up and proposed?
If it’s the latter then this is nothing new, ridiculous bills get drafted every day everywhere just so it seems like they are doing their job, most of the time they don’t expect and they don’t get anwhere.
