Here we go again… H.R. 5319: Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 is meant to “amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require recipients of universal service support for schools and libraries to protect minors from commercial social networking websites and chat rooms.” Yep,
Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick [R-PA] and others feel that schools and libraries shouldn’t allow kids access to blogs, MySpace, Friendster, wikis, and e-mail. Good grief!
