Bill's MySpace, its MySpace Bill DOPA
The Deleting Online Predators Act would force schools and libraries to block access to online chat and social networking. DOPA is often called the "MySpace Bill" and it would require schools and libraries to filter access to chat and social networking tools or lose their federal e-rate funding.

According to the Center for Democracy and Technology..

"Because chat and social networking are so deeply ingrained in Internet communications, and are a part of a great diversity of web sites, the legislation could force librarians to cordon off vast amounts of valuable Internet content. The bill would place the Federal Communications Commission in the untenable position of either ordering the blocking of all sites with chat capability, or engaging in a clearly unconstitutional process of picking which sites to block ";

Lets recognize that every news paper will have Blogs for almost every article they print. But lets see Microsoft fight DOPA first. There realy is a culture war in the US but it is not rich haves against poor have nots. It is a war between a culture of those who read only and say nothing and those who read analyse and comment. The latter is a reason to respect under 30s. They are Standing Up in ways the Bush administration and perhaps Gates Family find hard to tolerate. Do good with this Microsoft now that Gates is gone this is possible.
