DOPA Dies! :)
9 01 2007After more than three weeks without an internet connection at home (due to moving houses, previous tenants not disconnecting their phone and a rather slow-moving ISP) I’m back at work. I’m delighted that my first post for 2007 is celebrating the news that the farcical Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) has, at least in its current form, died a quiet death. The moral panic surrounding youth and social networking seems to have eased in the US and with the shift of control of Congress to Democrat hands it looks like DOPA is off the table.
However, as Steve O’Hear notes, some of the damage has already been done with a number of schools blocking social networking sites
