NC MySpace bill fails

by Trench on July 30th, 2007

Energy bill advances; MySpace rules fail:
North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper’s proposed legislation to make teens get parental permission before signing up for MySpace has failed in the State House.

But the second bill lost its headlining clause, a requirement that parents give permission for their younger teenagers to sign up for online social-networking sites. Rep. Jennifer Weiss, D-Wake, said that legal and technical experts raised too many unanswered questions about whether the proposal was feasible and constitutional.

It is expected that the Senate will reject the changes and the bill will end up in a conference committee.

So there still are some sensible politicians left in the world.
