The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a
bill saying that anyone offering an open WiFi connection to the public must
report illegal images including "obscene" cartoons and drawings -- or face
fines of up to $300,000.

That broad definition would cover individuals, coffee shops, libraries,
hotels, and even some government agencies that provide WiFi. It also sweeps
in social networking sites, domain name registrars, Internet service
providers, and e-mail service providers such as Hotmail and Gmail, and it
requires that the complete contents of the user's account be retained for
subsequent police inspection.
