I have to wonder how New York plans to police the entire internet. This would appear to enforce a law that only those who weren’t going to “break” such a law are going to follow anyway.

    Bringing this bill now into a conservative majority, as thin as it might be, is a death sentence. I really hope this isnt the death rattle of a political party

    Just to add: NY state has been a great testing ground for new federal regulations, just as an example the Computer Fraud and Abuse act of 1986

      This happens all the time. The party out of the majority proposes moon-shot legislation knowing that it won’t pass. Because they get to go home and complain about the bad (insert party name here)s who blocked the, probably unconstitutional, bill that they proposed. Then beg for donations so they can get a seat on an important committee.
