The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to force libraries and schools to ban social networking sites such as MySpace and chat rooms in order to save children from online predators, part of an election year campaign by Republicans to appeal to suburban voters, according to Declan’s News.com story[.]

The net thrown by Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 could include sites such as LiveJournal, Amazon, hosted wikis, AOL/Yahoo/Microsoft’s instant messaging software, Slashdot, Daily Kos, Redstate.org, Kuro5hin, all hosted blogging, Yelp, Ning and Yahoo 360.

I suppose that it’s illegal to send a few Congresscritters a clue. Jeez, overreach much?
