Title: IL State Senator proposes bill to force removal of anonymous internet posts
Post by: Baron von Schtinkenbutt on February 18, 2013, 11:10:31 PM
QuoteIllinois Senate Bill 1614 (http://legiscan.com/IL/bill/SB1614)

Summary

Creates the Internet Posting Removal Act. Provides that a web site administrator shall, upon request, remove any posted comments posted by an anonymous poster unless the anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate. Effective 90 days after becoming law.

I trust the First Amendment will prevail over the delusions of a state senator from Chicago.

I'm sure there's enough Illinois state senators with a vested interest in preserving the anonymity of sending pics of their cocks to interns to worry too much about this.

Exactly.  No sense losing sleep over this, folks.  Nothing to see here.

How would you even enforce such a law?

It would be difficult at best on the national level.  I'd say it would be impossible at the state level.

Does the first amendment protect anonymous free speech?
