Kentucky/Anonymous Bill

This is an interesting story for a couple of reasons. 1) This could be quite devastating to the aspects of the Inter Web where anonymity reigns. The biggest example i could concoct was comments on blogs and similar types of sites. Apperently there is quite a lot of bullying going on on the Internet as the article suggests. I myself am not too keen on the whole virtual bullying situation going on, however i would assume that it is a problem in certain areas. Yet, i haven't been so exposed to it myself. However much a drawback it is to anonymity, as there are to many different aspects of the internet, it is deffinitly a tool to be used to shed different perspectives on an aray of subject matters.

2) Charging someone for others' free opinions on the Web. I reiterate, i have not experienced this bullying myself, but if it is as big a problem as could be then it should be delt with accordingly. But c'mon, freedom os speech man!
