Tenn. Law Bans Posting Images That "Cause Emotional Distress"
Another "law" written so vaguely that almost any image could be construed by someone to be "emotionally distressing." When are Americans going to wake up and realized that laws don't solve problems? They only open the door for more laws.
Tenn. Law Bans Posting Images That "Cause Emotional Distress"
By Timothy B. Lee | Published June 8, 2011
A new Tennessee law makes it a crime to "transmit or display an image" online that is likely to "frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress" to someone who sees it. Violations can get you almost a year in jail time or up to $2500 in fines.
The Tennessee legislature has been busy updating its laws for the Internet age, and not always for the better. Last week we reported on a bill that updated Tennessee's theft-of-service laws to include "subscription entertainment services" like Netflix.
The ban on distressing images, which was signed by Gov. Bill Haslam last week, is also an update to existing law. Tennessee law already made it a crime to make phone calls, send emails, or otherwise communicate directly with someone in a manner the sender "reasonably should know" would "cause emotional distress" to the recipient. If the communication lacked a "legitimate purpose," the sender faced jail time.
The new legislation adds images to the list of communications that can trigger criminal liability. But for image postings, the "emotionally distressed" individual need not be the intended recipient. Anyone who sees the image is a potential victim. If a court decides you "should have known" that an image you posted would be upsetting to someone who sees it, you could face months in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
If you think that sounds unconstitutional, you're not alone. In a blog post, constitutional scholar Eugene Volokh points out just how broad the legislation is. The law doesn't require that the picture be of the "victim," nor would the government need to prove that you intended the image to be distressing. Volokh points out that a wide variety of images, "pictures of Mohammed, or blasphemous jokes about Jesus Christ, or harsh cartoon insults of some political group," could “cause emotional distress to a similarly situated person of reasonable sensibilities,” triggering liability. He calls the bill "pretty clearly unconstitutional."
Another provision of the legislation governs law enforcement access to the contents of communications on social networking sites. The government can get access to "images or communications" posted to a social networking site by offering "specific and articulable facts," suggesting that the information sought is "relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation."
This section, too, faces constitutional problems. Julian Sanchez, a privacy scholar at the Cato Institute, tells Ars that "this is a lower standard than the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act requires" for unread communications. More importantly, because Tennessee is in the Sixth Circuit, it is bound by that court's Warshak decision, which held that the Fourth Amendment requires the government to obtain a full search warrant in order to access e-mail communications. "That case dealt with e-mail," Sanchez said, "but there's no good reason to think a private message on a social network site is any different."
Rep. Charles Curtiss, the lead sponsor of the legislation, did not respond to our request for comment.

پاکستان کسی بھی پاکستانی کے لئے اللہ کی سب سے بڑی نعمتوں میں سے ایک ہے. آج ہم جو بھی ہے یہ سب اس وجہ پاکستان کی ہے ، دوسری صورت میں ، ہم کچھ بھی نہیں ہوتا. براہ مہربانی پاکستان کے لئے مخلص ہو.
**JP** Privacy Becomes Next Major Threat for Pakistani Users on Internet
Privacy Becomes Next Major Threat for Pakistani Users on Internet
Humongous amount of individuals from Pakistan roam on internet, with some organizations calculating them to be over 20 million. You may argue that this is small percentage of total population of the country, i.e. 12 percent – but let's not forget the fact that 175 countries in the world have lesser than 20 million inhabitants.
Saying straight, we have got a crowd, a huge one, that connects to internet on daily basis for carrying their official, business or personal activities. During the process they use email, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and do literally everything that is possible over internet.
Which, is very productive; we have achieved so lot with the help of internet that one can't fully praise its existence.
But during the while, each individual interacting with internet is exposed to so many threats, which were otherwise not there before 1999. Privacy being rated as deadliest of them.
Definition of Internet Privacy (according to Wikipedia):
Internet privacy consists of privacy over the media of the Internet: the ability to control what information one reveals about oneself over the Internet, and to control who can access that information.
So if we look around, we see so many cases where our data that is stored online (addresses, phone numbers, pictures, videos, personal information) is at stake.
We recently covered this privacy flaw in FBR's website, where home/business address, bank account details and other sensitive data is readily, openly and publicly available. Look at all those desi picture websites with thousands of picture galleries available – and all of them stolen from Facebook, orkut, photobucket and other online photo services.
Story doesn't end here, we have websites that are specifically developed to distribute mobile phone numbers of girls.
Experts opine that online privacy cases happen due to immature or non-protection of data, meaning that the culprits invade your privacy only if you are not well protecting your data.
This happens to be especially alarming for a country like Pakistan where common persons are not very techy and are relatively unaware, illiterate about internet and privacy matters.
In such situations, we at individual level, and the government and semi government institutes at national level need to teach and aware masses about the privacy issues and their implications (some of which have resulted into suicides of many innocent girls).
PTA should be role model for any such awareness campaign. NGO should step forward to push this awareness to grass root level, and we individuals should discuss these privacy matters with friends, family members, in our offices, classes and gatherings.
These TV channels should discuss such issues in their prime time shows, instead of repeatedly inviting those politicians who speak nothing but of their personal interests.
Few guidelines for securing your privacy:
- Whenever you are saving data online, question yourself if it's really necessary to store data there or not?
- Make sure that the access of your data is public or private, make sure your Facebook profiles are viewable by friends only (for celebrities – they might need to set it public)
- Randomize your passwords, make them as meaningless as you can
- Don't use same password for your various online accounts
- Don't take pictures/videos which can cause embarrassment to you; storing them is suicide.
Spread the word!
Re: **JP** FW: Pak Army
Dear Brothers,,, as per my opinion every institutions whether Govt. Semi-Govt, Media, Judiciary and all forces every Individual from lower grade to top rant must be accountable for what he has done in his tenure like we saw in private institutions and organizations. We are just blaming our politics only and we are afraid to point fingers towards, armed forces and judiciary that's not the correct way. We all understand that our system needs a complete overhauling and every one should be asked for his achievement and negligence during his tenure on the seat he enjoyed in whole of his/her tenure. Until unless we changed our system and forward ourselves for accountability we can't succeed and keep in queue in developing countries even we are not developing country we are an idle country. Because we left our development 10 years ago when we bypass the supremacy of our constitution and forcibly rule the country and took responsibility of such war which was not ours. I hope you all understood my point.
Thanks and take care,

There should be no doubt that we love our all patriotic and honest persons BUT why you don't see the facts of today's life, why we don't come towards the accountability of Army establishment who ruined the country. Tell me the nation who lost their so many innocent citizens in that type of stupid war of terror ... you better know how many soldiers lost their lives .....
We love our soldiers not Army establishment (we have symbol of historical cowards Ayoub, Niazi, Yayiha, Zia & Mussharraf ). They just produce a chain of bulk corrupt bloody politicians who are also looting this country. There should be open accountability of army generals/establishment as well as politicians. We pay the taxes which make their luxury livings, our children have only dreams for higher education but their all families are settled in foreign. No one can inquire about their assets, their day b day growing bank accounts.
Leave your air conditioned home/cars/offices, visit the poor/pity areas, listen their comments carefully, you will feel rebelliousness against upper/elite class of this country. Pakistani People are awaking, they are demanding their rights, the time is very near when they will hang the corrupt politicians/army establishment, so please don't try to become emotional are defending the corrupt elements of society. We are all patriotic like you ... much love our country ....
Long live Pakistan ...

The most important question today is to "identify our enemies", who are using the typical style of "dajjali deception" and posing as our friends and laying a whole network of terrorism inside our country with the help of some fools/moles in our public/media/government....now is the time, never more urgent, to get those fools out, and identify the real enemies...this is the need of the hour, and a very nicely written article on the topic..

Democrat Joe Manchin (WV): Obama and the EPA are out of Control
Scotty Starnes | June 10, 2011 at 7:40 PM | Tags: American Electric Power, EPA, EPA regulation, Joe Machin (D-W.Va.), Obama's energy policy, Ohio, President Obama, Virginia, West Virginia | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5rhObama told everyone his energy policies. He wants to see energy prices "skyrocket" and will do so by bankrupting the coal industry. Listen to his words:
These are Obama's own words. Funny how Democrats act so shocked when he follows through on his promise.
(CNSNews.com) - Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, the former governor of coal-producing West Virginia, is blasting the Obama administration for using the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate coal-fueled power plants out of business.
On Thursday, American Electric Power company announced that to comply with a series of EPA regulations, it will close five coal-fired plants -- three in West Virginia and one each in Ohio and Virginia -- at a net cost of 600 jobs.
American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states.
"We have worked for months to develop a compliance plan that will mitigate the impact of these rules for our customers and preserve jobs, but because of the unrealistic compliance timelines in the EPA proposals, we will have to prematurely shut down nearly 25 percent of our current coal-fueled generating capacity, cut hundreds of good power plant jobs, and invest billions of dollars in capital to retire, retrofit and replace coal-fueled power plants," said AEP Chairman and CEO Michael G. Morris.
"The sudden increase in electricity rates and impacts on state economies will be significant at a time when people and states are still struggling," he added.
The plant closures in West Virginia alone will result in 242 lost jobs -- "and that's simply wrong," Manchin said:
"Let me be clear, it's decisions like the one made by AEP today that demonstrate the urgent need to rein in government agencies like the EPA, preventing them from overstepping their bounds and imposing regulations that not only cost us good American jobs, but hurt our economy.
"It is because of out-of-control agencies like the EPA as well as the need to protect American jobs that I sponsored the REINS Act -- a commonsense measure that will help protect and create jobs by reining in needless or burdensome regulations, and that will put responsibility back where it belongs – in the hands of the people who are elected to govern and lead this great nation," Manchin concluded.
Didn't Obama PROMISEto stop regulations that cost American jobs? Oh well, another promise with an expiration date.
During his campaign for president, Barack Obama admitted that "if somebody wants to build a coal fired plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
Obama's energy plan will bankrupt us all. How's that for hope and change?

Re: Keith In Köln, please explain Germany for us
Indeed, this utopian, Europeans have it right, mindset over here is
just so much bullshit.
just so much bullshit.
I was in Chemnitz, Germany (formerlyKarlMarxstadt, East Germany) in
1993. We were gonna get them on the new thingy called the internet
and fiber optics. Their real problem was indoor plumbing, not fucking
fiber. I'm tellin' ya, a whole lotta Germany, after inheriting East
Germany, wanted to give it back to the Russians.
If ya told Karl Marx, that RUSSIA in 1917, would be taking up his
ideas, he'd have said, "Are you out of your fucking minds!"
Ditto China in 1949
