As I read it it would not ban access to all chat rooms etc. but to those that were determined to allow easy access to objectionable material. If I read it correctly there would be a commission to determine what sites those were. What is more disturbing to me is that even though these measure are routinely struck down by the courts congress keeps passing them. it is also disturbing that the business week article attempts to present the idea that adult access to these sites will be limited when, from what I can read that is not the case. This law if it passes is almost certain to be struck down as a 1st amendment restriction. Of course I could be completely wrong too. :-) I just read the act.
