“The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill that would make it a federal felony for Webmasters to use innocent words like “Barbie” or “Furby” but actually feature sexual content on their sites. Anyone who includes misleading “words” or “images” intended to confuse a minor into viewing a possibly harmful Web site could be imprisoned for up to 20 years and fined, the bill says.”
I wonder when our congressmen & senators will start producing anything useful with our tax dollars. I have little to no faith in anyone in office right now and honestly feel a good portion of my taxes are being completely wasted!
Reasons why this is absolutely a waste of time:
- Most search engines almost completely ignore META tags at this point.
- Anyone actually using this method for a pron site can simply host outside the US.
- 20 years for “misuse of META tags”?! I think I’ll stick to less-punishable crimes like murder and rape!
Congress, combining this stupidity with your assinine handling of Net Neutrality, you’re fired. I will be, again, writing my representatives to let them know they will NOT get my vote next election. Pete Ashdown, can you save us?
