Trolling Now Carries a Two-Year Prison Term

| 9 Jan 2006 13:38

No, seriously. CNet is running a story reporting that the president just approved the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act, which carries with it a restriction against anonymous internet trolling. Violating the law can carry up to a two-year prison sentence.

Yikes. Be sure to sign your hate mail from now on, folks.
