Goatse now illega in the USA!!

Go freedom!! Hehe...

Goatse now illegal in the United States
July 26th, 2006

��� 2252C. Misleading words or digital images on the Internet
��(a) IN GENERAL.�Whoever knowingly embeds words or digital images into the source code of a website with the intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 10 years.
��(b) MINORS.�Whoever knowingly embeds words or digital images into the source code of a website with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful to minors on the Internet shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 20 years.
��(c) CONSTRUCTION.�For the purposes of this section, a word or digital image that clearly indicates the sexual content of the site, such as �sex� or �porn�, is not misleading.
��(d) DEFINITIONS.�As used in this section�HR 4472 EAS
��(1) the terms �material that is harmful to minors� and �sex� have the meaning given such terms in section 2252B; and ��(2) the term �source code� means the combination of text and other characters comprising the content, both viewable and nonviewable, of a web page, including any website publishing language, programming language, protocol or functional content, as well as any successor languages or protocols.��.
(b) TABLE OF SECTIONS.�The table of sections for chapter 110 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 2252B the following:
��2252C. Misleading words or digital images on the Internet.��.

So, what does this bill outlaw? You can�t put prank links to Goatse anymore, because they decieve people into viewing obscenity. (Clarification: This goes for everyone, not just minors!) More importantly, you can�t link to erotic art on a website that minors might read without explicitly explaining its erotic nature. So, if I were to link to, say, the anime image database Danbooru, that would be totally illegal because I didn�t tell you what sort of pictures you might find there. Which I won�t, because if the government forces me to do something like that it is clearly infringing on my right to free speech.

By the way, �harmful to minors� is defined as something that minors would find interesting but their parents would not like them seeing. Google 2252B if you don�t believe me. Therein, quite literally, is the nanny state.

I'm sueing you!

If anyone sues me I'll just sue their mom to get them back.

She probably did something to me.


Posted by Adriz on Jul-27-2006 02:26:

But what if their mom sues you for sueing her?

OK this is ridiculous, 10 and 20 year maximum sentences are surely excessive.
