Bloggers take note. Here’s a savory bit of text from the Goodlatte anti-Internet gambling bill I debated with the Congressman last week:

(3) Relief granted under paragraph (1) against an interactive computer service (as defined in section 230(f) of the Communications Act of 1934) shall–

(A) be limited to the removal of, or disabling of access to, an online site violating this section, or a hypertext link to an online site violating this section, that resides on a computer server that such service controls or operates; except this limitation shall not apply if the service is violating this section or is in active concert with a person who is violating this section and receives actual notice of the relief.

Emphasis mine.

The bill doesn’t only ban hosting illegal gaming websites, it bans linking to them. Like this.

Read for yourself. Text of the bill is here.

Tomorrow, I’ll have a bit more on Rep. Goodlatte’s Internet moral policing legislation.
