Can’t have the common man out rabble-rousing, y’know.
The Sedition Act (officially An Act for the Punishment of Certain Crimes against the United States) made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials. Enacted July 14, 1798, with an expiration date of March 3, 1801.
So, how do they monitor this... if one isn't "registered" or if one isn't informed about this... face it, most "folks" aren't up on this kind of thing. Let's say I make a "comment" on the canning forum that I am a member of concerning stupid canning regulations. (I could go on and on with this scenario.) How can they possibly regulate this? (It's sort of like that mandatory-voluntary community service "plan.") (BTW, I understand they probably have "targets" in mind. But, face it, the web is a BIG place.)
