I object to this legislation being introduced. The SOAP clearly states that the earliest legislation must be introduced in NE1. You have discretion over NE2 and NE3, but you must bring up the Haverford Act in this slot.

What would happen, if someone shared a video say from CNN/BBC/Fox that showed an ISIS speech. I wouldn't want people facing fines just for sharing a news article

Possibly only extend the fines to news stations? I can't propose amendments to your drafted legislation, so if you or Clyde want to do it, that's fine.

We cannot be getting into the business of censoring legitimate news which may be considered by some as IS propaganda.

Sometimes there is a thin line between what is newsworthy and what is propaganda.



I understand that. However, if we do that, we're simply instilling fear into the people and letting the terrorists win. Also, there's the issue of the respect of the families of the victims - I know that James Foley's family wants as little people to see the video of his death as possible, and by circulating it on a major news outlet, it's a blatant disrespect towards families who will never see their sons or daughters again.

Possibly we can change the "any IS propaganda" line showing "any IS videos that show the deaths or execution of any Atlasian" and get rid of the speeches part?

If say, the Chicago Tribune decided to post a video of an ISIS beheading, would they be punished under this bill, or are they expected to have a Northeast-only version of their website?

If a Northeasterner sees it.

If a non-Northeasterner shares a video/photo with non-malicious intent, would we request them to take  it down? And if he/she didn't, the person would be fined?

This is where the issue is, I'd be happy removing individuals from this and just keeping it for news/businesses.

I can't see how we're going to be able to censor every facebook page, because every facebook is accessible from the the Internet in the Northeast

Yes, that's way too much bureaucracy.
