Arizona law would censor the Internet
State of Arizona
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The state of Arizona could find itself in the company of countries like China and Syria for censoring the Internet if the state's governor signs a bill recently passed by the legislature.
Arizona House Bill 2549, which is now on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk for signature, was created to counter bullying and stalking. The law would make it a crime to use any electronic or digital device to communicate using "obscene, lewd or profane language" or to suggest a lewd or lascivious act, if done with the intent to "terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend."

If Arizona's supreme court stood for constitutional free speech, they would quickly toss this law out. But like most laws of this nature, it requires the people to respond and file suit, once enacted.

"Lewd" and "annoying". That's 95% of the net traffic. The reporting of annoying news would not fall under this regulation, I assume. If this law carries the most brilliant invention since the computer began is going to become the 'All Kittens with Yarn Network'. I need a drink.

Wow. That's...specific. Not. Personally, I find the word, "darn," offensive! (Egad! I just typed it!) I think We should go after anyOne who types...that word. And I don't care if They're discussing fixing Their socks!
