I knew there couldn't possibly be a law like this in existence. Plus, I doubt Bill Clinton would've even signed something like that. He'd have been too busy with *cough* under the table business if you know what I'm saying.

wow damn. lol i didn't know that. what i assumed though, there is a right to not allow someone to view your stuff on a website. so therefore, you can prevent groups of people from going to sites as long as it doesnt deal with things such as racism and whatnot, there are guidelines.....isnt something like this stated in the Constitution? That people have a right to have "secrets" or something, or have privacy?! XD Just because it's on the net doesn't mean it's public.

So there is a possibility of a statement that would make it unlawful for people that are told not to view the site view the site.

just like pornographic sites, they would ask about 18 years or older thing, you know? Same concept...i think.

Haha... yeah, I've seen a lot of topics already ditching this law. Oh wait, it's not even a law. Besides, even if such a law were to exist, it's not like anybody can monitor all the people who are on the web, and no one owns the web. No one can say this country owns it, so laws are generally hard to implement, as the laws are usually restricted to one country/place, but the internet is everywhere! You can use it wherever you are, so Internet laws? Hardly possible.
