#2 ...sites that have chat rooms or "social networking" elements.

Is Rantburg included in that? How will the little children learn about shutter guns, white slag, and starlets from bygone eras?

#3 I suspect we will see more and more ineffectual laws like this until the kids who grew up with the net start making the laws. This is also how the liquor and drug laws got to be the way they are.

#9 This is a stepping stone. Soon you will have to 'register' to be able to access such sites even from your own computer - much like you have to show ID to get beer or smokes -- and will be just as ineffective.....

After all its 'For The Children'.
