i am sure congress is taking this too far as they always do in speech related areas, but i think the basic idea of saying you “know what? you can’t go on the internet and trick a person just for the purpose of inflicting emotional pain on them, cause their death, and walk away from it”–i think that basic impulse has alot of validity. although in most cases, you can get them for fraud, too.
