Congress wants to be SAFE and kill public WiFi

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

If you haven’t heard the latest effort from our government to try and infringe on our rights you should read this post about the new bill called the “Safe act” proposed by the House of Representatives.

Our government want’s to keep us safe from all smut peddlers online by creating legislation that would enforce the monitoring of all publicly open WiFi networks for “obscene” image downloads. I’m all for keeping our children safe from pedophiles posing as 13 year old girls online but this clearly is not the answer to those problems. We don’t live in China nor a police state and I can’t even imagine how difficult it would be to enforce such a ridiculous law. It’s guaranteed if this thing passed we’d immediately see a huge reeducation in public WiFi.

It begs to the ask the question, what lobbyist are behind this B.S? Telcos and ISPs seem to be the only ones who’d benefit from the bill.
