Check out this story about the government trying to protect us from ourselves. Basically, it seems to me that they’re trying to interfere with our lives just a little bit more.
Now, I imagine there actually is some legal basis for this, since schools are funded by the government. (Of course, OTOH, we fund the government…). It just seems like one of those things to me where you never know when they’ll decide to draw the line between what they can and can’t block.

Sign the SAVE YOUR SPACE petition opposing HR5319.
Although HR5319 is titled the “Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA)”, the bill is very misleading. If you take a closer look at DOPA, you’ll find that this legislation actually limits your rights to access and express yourself on the Internet instead of “deleting online predators”. But before this legislation becomes law, there are several more steps including getting approval by the Senate and, ultimately, being signed by President George W. Bush.
Unfortunately, the public only sees what the media and politicians tell them. They need to hear from the actual users of social networking sites.
The SAVE YOUR SPACE petition is your chance to be heard and to show the public, the media and the U.S. government the importance and amazing power of social networking sites.
Help us get 1,000,000 signatures in 1 month.
