New York looking to stop anonymous posting online

article published on 24 May, 2012

Bill no. S06779 will look to block anonymous speech online. Lawmakers in the state want to cut down on "mean-spirited and baseless political attacks" and also "turn the spotlight on cyberbullies by forcing them to reveal their identity." The bill itself is described by lawmakers as "an act to amend the civil rights law, in relation to protecting a person's right to know who is behind ... [ read the full article ]

I don't see where this law prevents you from saying what you want. That being said First Amendment case law, as it pertains to the Internet, is severley lacking considering how long the web has been a major part of our lives. There is one case, McIntyre v. Ohio Election Commission, that protects anonymity in the distribution of pamphlets. Another case, American Library Association v. U.S. Department of Justice, grants speech on the Internet to the highest level of First Amendment protection.

The language of this law would have to be worded to pertain to currently banned forms of speech (violent, treasonous, etc.) in order for it to stand a court challenge.

ALL social media grabs the IP address of the post. If someone complains about an anonymous post. That site must remove the post unless the poster adds a name. The snap is how does the site know if the name is correct?

They wouldn't as you could use a legitimate address that's not yours and a fake name. With that said it would be very difficult to enforce such a law but you know NY they'll still do it and Charles Schumer will boast what a great bill it is.

Notice it doesn't even say which lawmakers are in support of this bill. So are these "anonymous" lawmakers?
