DOJ wants to criminalize putting fake information on dating sites, uploading videos to YouTubeFriday, November 18, 2011 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer (NaturalNews) Currently, the worst thing that can happen to an internet user who violates a private website's terms of service and gets caught is that he or she may be suspended or banned from the site. But the US Department of Justice (DOJ) wants to take this a step further by making any violation of a website's terms of service a criminal offense worthy of fines and potential jail time.Match.com users who lie about their age in their personal profiles, for example, or teenagers who use Gmail that "are not of legal age to form a binding contract," would all be considered criminals under the new DOJ proposal. Even YouTube users who upload videos that another user finds offensive, or that violate YouTube's terms of service in some way, could be liable for criminal charges.
Does the government really need to get involved in this? If the DOJ doesn't have enough work to do, maybe it's time to start cutting payroll.
