Stop the House, not the mouse!

ocial network sites face US ban

Many schools have already banned social network sites

Children in the US could be banned from using social networking sites in schools and libraries by a new law.

The Deleting Online Predators Act tries to limit the access paedophiles have to the networking sites which have become hugely popular with minors.

The act has already been approved by a large majority in the House of Representatives.

Critics say the act is too broad and could mean a huge number of websites are cut off from users.



It is not in the governments constitutional right to forbid site access to anyone through the internet, by limiting what we can search on the internet we are disallowed our very fundamental rights! The worst part is they want to ban these sites in school and library's a haven for knowledge, and discussion of ideas, the staple of the rights we enjoy. If the site usage becomes a problem that should be left to the parents and the administrators to decide, it's no place for the U.S Government to make broad decisions on what we may do on the computer. By passing this bill the entire government could over reach it's authority, if they ban these sites, what's stooping thme there? PRetty soon they'll start blocking the entire internet for the public, based on moral conscious, or perhaps the fear of terrorism?


We can't let the government limit our personal freedoms by denying access to certain webpages at school. Remember guys, it starts here we don't know where it will end...


That's your decision
