Journal SPAM: John McCain declares Illegal images must be reported 2
Seen on c|net, Declan McCullagh writes
"Millions of commercial Web sites and personal blogs would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000"
The legislation has been drafted by the Republican Presidential hopeful, John McCain.
McCain's proposal is called the "Stop the Online Exploitation of Our Children Act". It requires that reports be submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which in turn will forward to the relevant police agency.
What's coming next? In case you think that this is a one-party effort, look at the closing statement, by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), where he declares that he will introduce similar legeslation targeting "social networking sites" and sex offenders.
