Government regulations seek to kill adult social-networking sitesThe federal government is proposing regulations that would effectively kill adult social-networking sites. This is being done under the guise of fighting child pornography. The regulations would in part allow the attorney general to conduct warrantless searches at will on targeted sites’ records, including visitors’ personal information. There are few safeguards over what the FBI can do with the information it obtains. You have until September 10 to object to these regulations, and the Task Force, Inc., urges you to do so. It’s easy and essential. |
