It's part of an attempt to crack down on political speech the current regime doesn't like. A quote from the article:
"There's an interesting side note. An earlier version that the House approved in September had radically different wording. It was reasonable by comparison, and criminalized only using an "interactive computer service" to cause someone "substantial emotional harm."
Attempting to cause someone substantial emotional harm should be illegal. Simply saying something that annoys someone else is free speech. We should start a legal defense fund for jonny.

Geezzz, I'd better be careful. But I guess I'm safe - I always sign my name anyhow. I just like to annoy politicians.
But this is back to define "is" -- who's to say what's annoying and what's not. I mean some people can just say good morning and be annoying to a lot of people. Can you go to jail for that?
Hugs,

the law will never survive it's first court challenge.
too bad common sense and decency couldn't just rule. a world that allowed you to say whatever you wanted to without threat of government reprisal. or forums where spirited discussion wouldn't degenerate to personal threats. i understand why some people feel the need to "annoy" anonymously, but wish that everyone could stand up and say what they wanted and stand behind it.

More government interference in our lives. Oh joy! Just what we need.
George Bush signed the bill into law and for that I am furious. This isn't just about George Bush, though. He would have had nothing to sign had not people on all sides of the political spectrum passed this through the Congress and Senate UNANIMOUSLY.
Time to fire them all and start from scratch.

So since I use my real name and Flash doesn't, that makes him the troll?

In agreement here. Everybody seems right.
You're right about Ben Franklin too.
George Bush and his ilk are true freedom of speech fighthers.

Finally, at last!
It will never stick, if the trolls are truly anonymous, how are they going to find them.
I submitted the story to Slashdot ( troll central) and it took a full hour to get rejected.

Uh, Charlie. Did you miss the dark black bolded word UNANIMOUSLY in the statement that the bill passed through the senate unanimously? This is bigger than Bush or his administration. Democrats, Independents and whoever else ALL voted FOR this encroachment on our right to free speech.
The Democrats have gone Socialist. The Republicans have gone Democrat. The Supreme Court is legislating our rights away from the bench. Sheesh! The country may not survive too many more years of the same old same old.
It's about time for a Revolution.

I truly love this legislating from the bench crap. It's the far right that rants incessantly about doing just that. It's all about abortion and waste of time stuff relating to religious expression. They want nothing but legislation from the bench so long as it's on their approved list.
As I've posted before, I have no problem at all with religious expression so long as I don't trip over it. Think of how much good could be done if all that energy were used to help the truly needy.
While Bush's stunningly moronic appointments on so many levels show his true mettle, you can't deny that the idiot has every right to appoint a conservative. It's the way it is.
