[LM_NET] Questions about DOPA

[Vicki Reutter <Vreutt@AOL.COM>]

I know a little about Deleting On-Line Predator's Act (DOPA) but am wondering 
if anyone knows the answers to these:

1. I heard that the wording is very broad, so that it would mean blogs of any 
kind would be prohibited - such as NYTimes, CNN, Yahoo groups, book 
discussion blogs, etc,?

2. Does it apply to public libraries, as well? You would have to be over 18 
to access livejournal or facbook, etc.?

In my mind, I would hate to see federal legislation dictating this. Why 
couldn't it be left to local standards?
