Hmmm; from a junior Republican Congresscritter with no co-sponsors. This isn't going to get anywhere in this legislative session, and it is said to need better drafting (which I don't doubt), but it's worth pointing out that as the Internet gets even more and more important, the very real abuses by bad actors on it will result in serious legislation and regulation.

This may not happen soon, but given our general inability to curb the abuses (including criminals taking advantage of poorly secured sites) I don't see how it's not going to happen sooner or later.

After reading the article, and reading some of the problems with it, it sounds like we should hope that this bill dies a quick death.
