"After child pornography or some forms of "obscenity" are found and reported, the Web site must retain any "information relating to the facts or circumstances" of the incident for at least six months. Webmasters would be immune from civil and criminal liability if they followed the specified procedures exactly."
....
"Internet service providers already must follow those reporting requirements. But McCain's proposal is liable to be controversial because it levies the same regulatory scheme--and even stiffer penalties--on even individual bloggers who offer discussion areas on their Web sites."
How about we close down all forms of Government for 25 years (except Judicial). It would be good for tax payers!
We certainly don't need any new laws, we need the Judicery to catch up and make senisible rulings on all the nonsense that has happened in the past :)
The USA has a constitution that relys on 9 guys doing the right thing, while 10's of thousands of other government officials are trying to do the wrong thing!
It is a losing battle for those with commonsense! We really need a time-out to allow them to catch up, or suggest a better system!
Any country that requires 83,000+ pages to explain how someone should pay taxes has a problem. Most people in the street could do it in a single sentance or two. At worst it should be a single page of plain English!
At the end of the day all USA laws are subject to Supreme Court approval. So why not ditch all the posturing in-between and just get to the heart of the matter and the ruling that really counts!
Of course hundreds of thousands of people are employed to ensure this never happens, or, at least not that quickly :(
some forms of "obscenity"
everybody, report all pictures of politicians, once a day.
for violating community standards.
twice, if their mouth is open.

The problem with that is judicial has been creating laws and legislation from the bench...
Really no way out.
Sorry if anyone who likes to view girlie pics may be offended at the possibility of some invasion of their coveted anonymity, but I've worked as a chat bouncer at a women's community and have seen and had to deal with first-hand some of the seamier side there is to the web.
how about a 25 year moratorium in new laws? I think we have enough
Honest question: What in the world is wrong with simply keeping records?

Of course a better answer would have to say that search records are VERY private, one can essentially piece together what you like, dislike, your thoughts, and so on. And, it's never "Simply keeping records": they will mined and abused. It never fails.

Keeping politics and personal biases and tastes out of it altogether - it's an issue of accountability and responsibility.
