It's unsurprising that some of the same groups backing the CDA are backing this, since they used danger to children as an excuse for it. (A rather transparent one, given the actions vs Compuserve). I am
disappointed in
EPIC for cooperating with them.
You shouldn't be, and I should have been more clear. There is a broad coalition of groups supporting this legislation, including (from memory) the Kids off Lists! project, Center for Media Education, and Consumer Federation of America. I'm putting together a writeup of the press conference today and the language of the bill. More on this later tonight. -Declan
