Agreed. It amazes me how quickly people embrace big government when it's big in a way they like.

I'm also not sure any child who wasn't already incredibly vulnerable has ever been OMGSCARREDFORLIFE by being hit on online. I understand some men are aggressive and distasteful about it, and certainly they should be punished. But the computer has an off switch, and I don't understand why the powers that be seem to assume teens can't or won't use it. (I know, blaming the victim.)

And, yes, it would hit students who don't have nice shiny computers at home much, much harder than anyone else, and that really seems to go back to classism.
