free wi-fi to go bye-bye???!!!

H.R. 3791

----------------------------------------------

...bill requires anyone with a wireless network that's open to the public to report any illegal images that pass through their network...

The SAFE bill, or Securing Adolescents From Exploitation-Online Act...anyone with an open Wi-Fi network will be required to comply with the law...

...if a passerby uses the access point to find or share child pornography. It could also cause some businesses that offer free Wi-Fi service to shut down their open networks.

The SAFE bill must still pass the U.S. Senate before becoming law, which could take months.

----------------------------------------------

...The bill doesn't require WiFi owners to police anything, merely 'stiffening the penalties' for those who make no effort to report obvious child pornography.
