Re: ?? said by hootabius:How the heck would an ISP enforce this anyway? Doesn't Congress have more important things to do? Agree. Uh, how? So some Nigerian scammer puts the initials "SIPC" in one of those "we've got $10,000,000 for you" messages, and an ISP is supposed to block it. There's so much of this junk out there that the only way to block it would be to just shut down the internet.
And if the wording is so broad it could be interpreted to include VOIP, I guess it's also your ISP's fault if a scammer calls you on your VOIP phone service.
Unenforceable. It's just like the "Can Spam" bill, which accomplished nothing. |

| This may go with the territory. It was the ISPs that refused to be used as dumb pipes. If they didn't expect to be over-regulated they then had their heads in thier arse!

| You got it.
Also, there goes our internet "privacy", not they we really had any in the first place. This is really scary and will only result in higher costs for the consumer. The intent may be good, but the implementation will not be what was intended. The gov't needs to realize that they can not just waive a magic wand and say, "Make it so" to fix a problem. |

| The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I hope this gets removed from the bill. |
