ANOTHER U.S. ATTEMPT TO MUZZLE THE INTERNET
New Jersey Assemblyman launches Bill to control anonymity of posts
Late last year there was news of a federal US attempt to control discourtesy and abuse on the Internet (see previous Online-Casinos.com & InfoPowa reports) and this year we have seen Rep. Bob Goodlatte launch his latest attempt to ban online gambling that includes proposals to censor at ISP level.
Online-Casinos.com readers might be forgiven for assuming that American politicians seem to have developed an (unhealthy) interest in reducing the freedom of the Internet, and the latest attack on this global communications medium is not reassuring.
New Jersey Assemblyman Peter J. Biondi has submitted a Bill that would make certain operators of interactive computer services and Internet Service Providers liable to persons injured by false or defamatory messages posted on public forum websites, and have an adverse effect on the choice of anonymity by posters.
In what could become a privacy and database nightmare for internet operators, the bill proposes to force websites to police their users and real time messages.
Here's an example from the New Jersey politician's proposal:
"The operator of any interactive computer service or an Internet service provider shall establish, maintain and enforce a policy to require any information content provider who posts written messages on a public forum website either to be identified by a legal name and address, or to register a legal name and address with the operator of the interactive computer service or the Internet service provider through which the information content provider gains access to the interactive computer service or Internet, as appropriate.
"An operator of an interactive computer service or an Internet service provider shall establish and maintain reasonable procedures to enable any person to request and obtain disclosure of the legal name and address of an information content provider who posts false or defamatory information about the person on a public forum website."
