This came up earlier in the
MySpace thread. The
law and the
proposed amendment only apply to things like public schools, libraries, etc., and not to the internet in general.
Also, chiefdelphi.com is not particularly commercial in nature, though it does receive some sponsorship from commercial sources. This (in a rational world) ought to keep it from being banned (it's not a "commercial social networking website").
