XueCast writes "http://www.xuecast.com/?p=428, New Jersey has just passed a new law that makes it harder for a person who has been convicted of a sex crime to have access to the internet. The law gives the New Jersey state government the authority to monitor all the sex offenders in the state, and to prevent or limit them from the internet. The new law does not allow any internet access for the sex offenders that had used the internet to commit their crimes, but it does allow limited internet access to those who didn't commit their sex crimes by using the internet."
