I just read that there is a Kentucky Representative named Tim Couch who is looking to pass some interesting legislation. (I’m glad he isn’t representing me. Good job voting this guy in Kentucky, by the way!) The agenda he is pushing could trigger some major repercussions across the internet and more specifically us in the search engine optimization field.
Last week, Representative Couch filed a bill to make anonymous posting online illegal. Basically what it does is require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site. Say goodbye to posting links on blogs, forum, social sites and anywhere else you want to drop an anonymous link since your full name would be used anytime you do.
If Couch gets this bill into a law, (which it probably won’t) the webmaster is forced to pay a fine if someone was to post a comment or whatever anonymously on their site. The fine isn’t small change, either. It would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that. You tell me how many bloggers out there who can afford to pay that fine. Most of us are blogging to make a buck, not to give it away.
I have already emailed my local state and federal representatives and senators in hopes that they don’t get any foolish ideas in their heads such as this bill. I think they would be pretty surprised just how powerful of a medium a blog can be in influencing voters. I urge you all to do the same.
Tell me any comments you have on this.
Hmm….I wonder if he knows that most posts and emails can be tracked back to their original source quite easily…probably not…he’s too busy trying to make a name for himself.
