Lawmaker: Criminalize Anonymous Internet Posts03.10.08 | Comment?
Kentucky Rep. Tim Couch has filed a bill aimed at making anonymous commenting on Web sites illegal.
“The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site,” according to press reports. “Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted.”
A Web site owner would have to pay a fine if someone posted anonymously on their site, if the bill were to become law. A first-offense fine would be five-hundred dollars. The Web site owner would have to pay one-thousand dollars for each offense after that.
Couch said he hopes to cut down online bullying.
