Texas Wants to Monitor and Limit Sex Offenders Online
The bill, HB 22, which has yet to go before the Texas House of Representatives, could prohibit convicted level 2 and 3 offenders from accessing pornographic material or social networking sites, or having online dialogue with children under the age of 18. The bill could also force certain offenders to register their social network identifiers, gamertags, or handles, which affects online gaming realms like PlayStation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live.
If you think that sounds excessive, consider that earlier this month, a 24-year-old Texas man was arrested and charged with soliciting nude pictures of an underage girl while playing a game on PSN. In 2006, a man was arrested after allegedly attacking an underage boy he met while playing Xbox Live, so these things do happen. The bill must first pass the House before it can be considered by the Senate, so we'll be watching closely for further developments. If the bill becomes law, hopefully Texas will let this guy punish the predators with a lethal fist to the face, or an emasculating round-house kick to the groin. [From: Joystiq]

this law sounds absurbd. Having worked with domestic violence and rape victims i can tell you first hand that its not the ones who appear to be deviants that we should be worried about. Why not just stop everyone from using these sites if they are so bad? And the other thing is where the heck are the parents nowadays of these kids being lured into the arms of predators. I can tell you where - adding 1 pound of hamburger to a meal so they can hurry up through dinner and get on the web themselves.
