Arizona law would censor the Internet

Arizona

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."

Internet decency laws are solutions looking for problems and a gross violation of Freedom of Speech.  These statutes have absolutely NO affect on cyber-bullying and only serve to be a lightning-rod for the ACLU and other watchdog groups, wasting taxpayers’ time and money to no avail.  A similar law was passed just last summer here in Tennessee, which I responded to with a “potentially offensive” portrait of our Governor Bill Haslam and his First Lady to bring attention to the issue on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/07/potentially-offensive-po...  To date, not a single charge has been filed enforcing this frivolous and dangerous law including myself.

What *I* want to know is...  Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break My bones, but names will never hurt Me?"  Any "hurt" is of Our own choosing, based on how We choose to think about the words We hear/read.  Are We so thin-skinned now that We are willing to give up rights just so We don't have to take responsibility for Our own reactions to words!?!  This isn't even about "safety."  Not that "safety" is a good reason to give up rights.  Geez.

"Mommy, He called Me a bad name!"  "So?  Ignore Him.  Look at Him and think, 'He's so ignorant,' or something like that.  Just because He called You a bad name doesn't mean it reflects on You.  It reflects on Him and His bad manners, brutish nature, and lack of decency."
