Quote: | It's illegal to annoy
A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language.
"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Where's the joy in using the internet if you cannot annoy?
In 10 years time we will look back on the last 5 years as "the golden age" of the net. Virtually unpoliced without to many rules.
All is changing. |

Two years in prison for being annoying on the internet
