-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Declan McCullagh: [snip] The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a bill saying that anyone offering an open WiFi connection to the public must report illegal images including "obscene" cartoons and drawings -- or face fines of up to $300,000. That broad definition would cover individuals, coffee shops, libraries, hotels, and even some government agencies that provide WiFi. It also sweeps in social networking sites, domain name registrars, Internet service providers, and e-mail service providers such as Hotmail and Gmail, and it requires that the complete contents of the user's account be retained for subsequent police inspection.
