a
Bill signed into law this week it prohibits using a false identity to
otherwise annoy, slander, libel or harass anyone on the Internet. Some
who are posters on Blogs decry this because they say that that it is a
violation of free speech, unfair and it should not be a Federal Crime.
Indeed interesting comments. Yet chances are we have all be slandered
and libeled on the Internet by vindictive, nut cases. If we own
companies, we have had competitors do this. Most often someone will
make up something and make a fake name and try to destroy your brand
name, personal integrity out of jealousy, competitiveness or simply
spite.
If such slanderous attacks and libel were to be stopped all at once, we
could have better quality communication and maybe people would not be
so fast to attack someone if they knew it could be traced back to them?
The Internet is the greatest communication device in the history of the
human endeavor, we need to protect its integrity, so people should use
their true identity, especially if they wish to slam another or libel
them. Think how upset you were last time someone attacked you?
What if they didn't wouldn't that have the best for all concerned? So
if it makes people think twice, it could turn out to be a very good
law. I know why the law was created, because politicians would get
attacked via slander comments from opposition, no wonder they all voted
for it? They are tired of being attacked. So, that abuse now is coming
back on those who falsify their identity only to slander, annoy or
libel. So, anyway, some flipside comments for the debate here. Think on
this in 2006.
