New Jersey Bars Sex Offenders From the Internet 435
eldavojohn writes "New Jersey just passed legislation making it illegal for sex offenders to use the internet. NJ congresswoman Linda D. Greenstein said, 'When Megan's Law was enacted, few could envision a day when a sex offender hiding behind a fake screen name would be a mouse-click away from new and unwitting victims. Sex offenders cannot be given an opportunity to abuse the anonymity the Internet can provide as a means of opening a door to countless new potential victims.' While they still can search for jobs, this is a major expansion over the prior legislation which barred them from social networking sites like facebook or myspace."

Dude, this is Slashdot.
We get your point, but this may not be the crowd to be making that argument.
Most readers have more authority to complain about your chirp tag not passing xml validation than to testify about the practices of medical impersonation among the western youth.
