There has been a lot of talk about this bill being to prevent children from becoming victims of sex crimes. This one bill is not going to stop people from being victimized. If someone is so determined to hurt someone in that way, they will do it, no matter what they have to do to accomplish it. It's the harsh reality of life. I mean, it might stop some of the less determined ones, but some of these people could be repeat offenders or something.

If anything, this bill will actually help the predators by forcing them to become smarter and sneakier about how they go about everything. The only difference is that they will not be protected by the anonymity of the internet. Since when have sex offenders stopped doing something because they were breaking the law? It's a silly question. Just because the law would prevent them from accessing victims over the internet, they will find victims. The law does not matter to them.

It is unfortunate, but one must face the cruelty of life and realize that the attacks on innocent children will never stop. [/cynical ranting]
