Great! I guess that gun deal to Mexico is over so that they can concentrate on real crime in the US.

How about a law making it illegal for a DoJ official to lie when testifying before Congress? Oh, wait, that’s what PERJURY is. /s

Is there something wrong with the internet? Are people clamoring for new laws? I can't stand these buggers! More laws! More laws! More laws! They should be forced to repeal two laws in order to enact one. Get out of our lives!

If you don't like something on the internet, don't use it. Keep the government out!

Hasn’t the Supreme Court already ruled in some case that lying, despicable as it might be, is still part of the “freedom of speech” thingy?

History repeats itself, Samuel Adams used pseudonyms such as "Candidus" in the Boston Gazette prior to the Revolution.

Here we go again!

The Supreme Court has already ruled that anonymous speech is a right implied in the First Amendment [1]. Further, there is a world of Constitutional issues that will arise if Congress ever makes violation of TOS a criminal act. The first is that TOS are subject to change without notice. You could be in compliance on Monday and a felon on Tuesday. Some sites would respond by making their TOS useless to enforce. Other sites would move to offshore hosting and adopt a non-US domain name.

“...The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A much-cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:

Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical, minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.

The tradition of anonymous speech is older than the United States. Founders Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym “Publius,” and “the Federal Farmer” spoke up in rebuttal. The US Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized rights to speak anonymously derived from the First Amendment.

The right to anonymous speech is also protected well beyond the printed page. Thus, in 2002, the Supreme Court struck down a law requiring proselytizers to register their true names with the Mayor’s office before going door-to-door. ...”

Limo-Libs want this badly so they can persecute politically incorrect people on line. Too much talkin’ goin’ on out there.

They are trying to sell this as forbidding lying on dating sites - something everyone hates.

They have a real problem when people have free speech they can’t punish and harass.
