Illinois state senator pushes anti-anonymity bill
There is no way in Hell I will ever divulge the privacy of my forum members, Libs or Conservatives!!!
A recently introduced bill in the Illinois state Senate would require anonymous website comment posters to reveal their identities if they want to keep their comments online.
The bill, called the Internet Posting Removal Act, is sponsored by Illinois state Sen. Ira Silverstein. It states that a "web site administrator upon request shall remove any comments posted on his or her web site 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."

Is there anyone here from Illinois?
Well rest assured, we will not reveal any of your private info. even under court order if this nonsense were to become law in your state.
This is frightening stuff. Just the fact someone would introduce such a bill...
Right now there are thousands of anonymous posters of forums Ira Silverstein and he will never know who they are.
I guess that's irany instead of irony.

What's funny is this will hurt libs more than cons in a big way. :lol:
There are always unintended consequences. Just think about the insanity that libs post. Would they really want people to know who they are?

They do have a habit of threatening peoples lives. The DU would be shut down within a week...

Somehow or another, I believe the libtards would get away with it. This amounts to making the jobs of the Oblamerites easier because they don't have a clue as to how to monitor and report all of the forums out here. All that Senator is doing is making it harder for the sheeple to keep up. Get us to give them the REST of our info? Who else is that stupid besides the libs and their mastertard?
We knew this was coming.
Insane stuff. Thats why one should use a contrived "online identity"
not their own real name, email etc, when posting on these forums. I did long ago just for instances like this.

I only have one thing to say to Iran Silverstein:

Regards anonymity. I do not support the actions in this Bill, however I do not believe we have any right to Anonymity.
Biometric data, to the extent needed to uniquely identify the individual, among the mass of humanity is no intrusion.
I see no concept in God's or Man's law that grants any right to Anonymity.
This has nothing to do with not revealing you Identity during the course of every day life.

By extension, this law could easily apply to legal protests where people holding signs in protest of the Govt.
Are you saying the Govt has a right to stop you and force you to identify yourself if they don't like the message, or force anyone attending the protest to submit an ID prior to attending?
We know how the left works, it's called precedent, and allowing this encroachment into our right to the First Amendment is only the next step in relinquishing the Bill of Rights.

Where in the Constitution is your Identity "protected"?

It isn't but where in the Constitution does it give the Government the right to dictate how a private entity conducts business?

Interfering with the First is what this comes down to, it is a form of punishment for voicing an opinion.

Perhaps the closest thing to protection of ones individual privacy stems from the 4th Amend which states citizens shall be secure in their homes, papers and effects.
If one is using a computer in the privacy of ones home to communicate thoughts, opinion's or ideas (1st amend) then it goes double. While our forefathers couldn;t have conceived of the Computer I would say "papers and effects" covers it under the 4th.

Where in the Constitution did the states give the government this authority?

I think we all just educated Ira this morning and can expect to hear a retraction later today.
Keep an ear open, the media will try and ignore it.
I don't agree with this, but find it interesting that it came on the heels of two separate people being arrested for making "threats" against Obama via Facebook. Many others were made via Twitter, and usually, people don't use their names on Twitter. Add to that the "skeet shot seen round the world" that we were told not to edit, then everyone did, I am sure they are looking for ways to close the anonymity gap of the internet. For the greater good, of course. :rolleyes:
This is crazy but definitely a lib thing for sure. When I was on a BRN forum at one time I used my real name and after a while did get a little worried, then their site crashed and I went anonymous when we had to re-register. Well after the site was closed down mostly due to the libs having dozens of Aliases to HIDE anyone ever figuring out who they were a lib member started their own site. Well they are on a mission to divulge who every con poster is, they even start threads about finding out who posters are and post pictures of them and where they work. One of the admin. even posted an IP address stating it was a poster their to prove or show they could, They were shown to be wrong and showed she MADE things up just to look good to her other liberal friends. This same lib poster has admitted to knowing a snitch who works for the county sheriff's dept. and has gotten info in the past.
My point is like I say all the time they want to know who YOU are but not them. Just like some of their screwy laws are for commoners but not them!
