Don't mess with Texans online

Just saw this news article and it made me think of WF favorites like Bev Clement, Gary Thiem, Steve Wagenheim, and countless others. If this new law grows beyond Texas, how will that change daily operations here at comedy central?

The new Texas law criminalizes online harassment on social networking sites and through e-mail or text messaging. H.B. 2003 states a person commits a third degree felony if the person posts one or more messages on a social networking site with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten another person.

...

"Don't harass people online. The crime is severe, it's a third degree felony. So, even if you're joking sometimes it can really hurt people and now it's against the law," said Chief Chavez.

...

It seems the goal of the new law was to discourage using the name or persona of another person to create a Web page. Some people expect legal challenges to the constitutionality of the new internet law.
