[wraggster]

Police have arrested a 16-year-old girl on charges of harassment under a new Texas law that took effect September 1, 2009. H.B. 2003 says a person commits a third degree felony if the person posts one or more messages on a social networking site with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten another person. Police say the harassment went on for a few months and involved a dispute over a boy. ... Some people expect legal challenges to the constitutionality of the new Internet law

Oooh, must try...

Wraggster smells of cheesy Doritos and he copy/pastes news articles.

Nah, the internet has gotten to a point of where the children should stay away. There was once a time when the internet was a peaceful place to visit, without the bullies and pointless posters and spammers.
