Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime!
 
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.

I don't really see what's wrong with it. Maybe I'm missing something though.

I'm sure Bush has lots more important things to worry about then fighting against the evil of annoying internet users.

Ah well, I don't live in America, what do I care?
