Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords
mytrip writes "Privacy advocates are questioning an aggressive Georgia law set to take effect Thursday that would require sex offenders to hand over Internet passwords, screen names and e-mail addresses. Georgia joins a small band of states complying with guidelines in a 2006 federal law requiring authorities to track Internet addresses of sex offenders, but it is among the first to take the extra step of forcing its 16,000 offenders to turn in their passwords as well."
this is slashdot, and people here aren't idiots
You must be new here.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Yeah, as long as it's for the childrun...
"We returned the General to El Salvador, or maybe Guatemala, it's difficult to tell from 10,000 feet"
Heh, they should also make them use dialup. A very slow loading connection would give them time to think "man, this is actually kind of gross". A good 20k should be enough for any sex offender!
Who - the children? Dont you think they have suffered enough allready!
No, I'm new here!
Oh, shit. Wrong account...

Look where all this talking got us, baby.
Your Neighbor is R. Kelly?
Not allowed within 50 feet of an intersection? So you're telling them they have to jay-walk?
This is not the funny you're looking for.
* Cue creepy music and desaturated photo of current governor looking sneaky.
"Governor so-and-so is soft on crime. He's so soft on crime that he pardons sex offenders. Also, he hats old people and puppies. Vote for Other Dude, who we know is tough on crime because when he was DA he sent some kid to jail for 8 years for shoplifting a pack of gum.
"I'm Other Dude, and I approve this message."

I'm not related to this discussion, just wanted to get in the picture. Hi mom!
I said hi to your mom last night.
Twice.
In the biblical sense.
It's better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it.

Yeah but her parents were VERY upset. I mean, really, do you want some BOY screwing your daughter?
All points of time and space are connected.
Quite simple: Because there was a penis involved.
You mean the cop, right?
You mean I actually got it right? (It was a guess)
Walking is for people who leave their desks, we /.ers can't be expected to know much of the world beyond the basement, except what google earth shows us.
An SQL query goes to a bar, walks up to a table and asks, "Mind if I join you?"
So the sex laws are all fucked up because some dick got involved in them? Yeah, I can see that.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
