a group of 33 state attorneys general led by Connecticut's Richard Blumenthal are investigating taking legal action against MySpace if it doesn't raise the age limit to join the site to 16
Yet no one will file any lawsuits against them for creating spyware. Wonderful.
Who will watch the watchers of what the watchers watch?
Since the "watchers of what the watchers watch" is the same thing as the watchers, the answer to that is the same as the answer to the question "who will watch the watchers?"
The difference is that RBLs are private entities and do not legally enforce anything, just like I can censor domain name containing the word "tree" from my computer without forcing websites containing the word tree to purchase.tree TLDs. However, ICANN is associated with the government and would force those with "inappropriate content" to purchase new domain names, etc. Would you support regulation that forces sites supporting whatever party is opposed to the current government to be regulated to a.opp TLD?
And when people buy fox.xxx (porn involving foxes), yahoo.xxx (porn involving the excited) and google.xxx (porn involving large numbers), hilarity shall ensue.

From what I've gathered, most "news" is charged with emotion, but at least this article encourages people to try to change things and could encourage people who haven't heard of all these events to look into them.
Regardless of whose fault these things are, they are still atrocities. Jose Padilla's torture is not justified simply because the majority of the people ineffectively elected government officials.
And you want people to get off their asses to change things? Bringing up these issues in a news article is one way to do that.
Or even maybe opening a door by reaching out and grabbing it and pulling it instead of just clicking it.
Clicking. Opening doors with the Wiimote, while amusing at first, quickly becomes an irritant.

Actually, he's saying the opposite: that laws should not be ridiculed simply because they are abused by some.

Soon, we will be safe from the most dangerous disease of all! So many people have been killed by Bird Fl... wait a minute... that's not right at all.
