Thunderbird2 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Oh yes, definitely...... > Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime. It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two years in prison. http://news.com.com/Create+an+e-annoyanc...atingfreaks.com Link to post Share on other sites
