SAFE Act won't turn mom-and-pop shops into WiFi cops
By Nate Anderson | Published: December 06, 2007 - 09:34PM CT

ISPs could face tougher penalties for failing to report child
pornography under a bill passed yesterday by the House, but don't
start searching the skies for the black helicopters yet: the bill
doesn't require any active surveillance of user behavior, and it won't
affect your local coffee shop's WiFi, despite what you may have read.

The Securing Adolescents from Exploitation-Online Act of 2007 (SAFE
Act; where the "O" went is anyone's guess) cleared the House yesterday
on a lopsided vote of 409-2. Congressmen Ron Paul (R-TX) and Paul Broun
(R-GA) were the only voices of opposition.
