Congress May Require ISPs To Block Certain Fraud Sites

FutureDomain writes "A bill which just passed the House Financial Services Committee would require Internet Service Providers to block access to sites hosting financial scams that pose as members of the government-backed Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The bill, called the Investor Protection Act and sponsored by Paul Kanjorski (D-PA), is broad enough to block not only websites, but email and any other 'electronic material.' 'Internet providers are also worried that Kanjorski's requirement — and the accompanying civil penalties and injunctions — would apply even if the blocking is not technically feasible.'"

    Additionally, why would they extradite Nigeria's third largest business?

    Also, what crazy person thinks, natural selection (the weeding out of total retards) is something bad? If anything, they're doing us a service. Something that we ourselves stopped doing: Rewarding those who have a working brain!
