You're right, this is not the place. I just do not appreciate being accused of something I did not do. But I shall move on. Let us get back to discussing the bill.

The I Can't Believe It's Not A Talossa Website Act WHEREAS; Talossa relies heavily on her many citizens to act as a face of the Kingdom; WHEREAS; the Kingdom of Talossa must work to protect itself from persons acting in the name of Talossa on the Internet; WHEREAS; any Prospective citizens or visitors could stumble upon fake or bogus information on random websites, turning them away or just terribly confusing them; WHEREAS; a list of known fake or bogus sites should be maintained as an aid to alleviate and prevent aforementioned confusion; WHEREAS; due to the advent of online social networking, pages on said sites should be set up in official capacity by an assigned Ministry within the government; THEREFORE; the Ziu hereby requires that any and all official or officially-sanctioned websites, social networking pages, online Embassies, and any other future form of Internet group be run by an assigned Ministry from the Prime Minister, assigned member of the government, or private citizens, when explicit permission is granted by the Prime Minister; THEREFORE; non-government sanctioned web sites in relation to Talossa, including social networking sites, must have clear and visible text that says the page is an UNOFFICIAL website; THEREFORE; it is up to the Prime Minister or his delegate to decide and outline what constitutes “clear and visible” and determine any violations; THEREFORE; the Prime Minister or his delegate shall monitor both official and unofficial Talossan websites, contact the owner as needed, and maintain a public list of official and bogus or fake sites as they are brought to the government’s attention; THEREFORE; the Government of Talossa has the right to require the transfer of a website or a deletion of website if it is not made clear, within the government’s definition, that the existing site is UNOFFICIAL; THEREFORE; violations of this Act may be considered acts of sedition or treason, punishable by warnings, fines, or revocation of citizenship. THEREFORE; Provincal websites shall be licensed by their respective governments under the same provisions of this Act.Noi urent q'estadra sa Viteu Toctviac'hteir – MC, PP Brad Holmes – Senator (Atatürk) Excellent work, Senator. One thing, regarding this passage: There is a tricky bit here, particularly noticeable in MySpace, and particularly evidenced in the recently-created MySpace page of Cody. He has, in fact, noted the page as "unofficial" in the account description. However, I don't think people look at the descriptions of MySpace pages all that often. Bulletins posted by the account are far more commonly seen, and those bear only the name and avatar. In the case of Cody's account, his bulletins appear to be official. We must insist that the "clear and visible text" be present on every communication of the account. In the case of Cody's account, I would like the account name to include something like " [UNOFFICIAL]" to make it clear that it does not represent the views of the Government.

To add to my previous post:
Ideally, I'd like to see Cody involved (upon his acceptance as citizen) in the running of ONE official MySpace page for the Kingdom, rather than having an inactive official site, and a very active unofficial one. His enthusiasm, while a touch premature and exploitive to date, could and should be harnessed for the benefit of the Kingdom.
(As an aside: Cody -- I'm not trying to be rude by third-person-ing you here, just trying to keep this as a group discussion. Cheers!)

Just, FYI. I like your idea though.
