  1. Ben & Jerrys AND Slim-Fast on How Socially Responsible Are Computer Companies? · · Score: 1

  2. Senate Bill 486 Re:Meth Bill on FreeNet's Ian Clarke Answers Privacy Questions · · Score: 2

    Duh. It's found as Senate bill 486, the House Companion is moving as HR 2987

  3. Meth Bill would let AG shut Freenet on FreeNet's Ian Clarke Answers Privacy Questions · · Score: 3

    Should the Methamphetamine Antiproliferation Act, as passed by the Senate, become law, it would exempt Freenet operators from Felony provisions of the Act, only until they had recieved written notices alledging violations of the statute's fuzzy definitions of online drug paraphernalia and manufacturing information.

    The exemption, added just before the Senate closed for 1999, protects ISP and hosts, by turning them into forced agents of government censorship.

    The House Judiciary is overdue on their touted hearings on this bill. I suspect its backers, including the Clinton admin, know it was in trouble, and are quitly reworking it.
