California INDUCE bill would ban the internet
California legislator Kevin Murray has introduced a bill that would essentially ban the internet.
As EFF explains:
The bill, introduced in the Senate last week, would make a criminal of anyone who sells or distributes software that allows users to transmit files over a network, if the seller/distributor fails to exercise “reasonable care in preventing use of the software to commit an unlawful act” such as piracy, computer trespass, or dissemination of child pornography.
This is just ridiculous.
