Congress is once again limitting what you’re allowed to do. This time it’s imposing laws on publicly funded institutions so that they can’t allow access to social networking websites.
Read that one again. You got it. Social networking websites.
Really… doesn’t that include the one you’re presently reading? You can certainly post feedback on the open forum below… that’s pretty social.
And the reasoning behind this one is even more obtuse. It’s to stop internet predators. In our libraries and schools.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly happier with someone online in a nice brightly lit public area than somewhere where no one can watch out for them.
As a matter of fact, assuming that people aren’t going to suddenly stop using social networking (accept for maybe the poor… the people that use public services) I’d really rather have them do it in public than out from under the watchful eyes of all of us.
Seems that backwards logic once again trumps in the House.
