I, for example, have been using Myspace to promote my candidacy in the Democratic Primary for the United States Senate, clearly core protected speech, and pretty effective. http://www.myspace.com/ben_masel
Is anyone preparing to seek injunctive relief should this pass? I want in as a listed plaintiff, should this happen before my Sept. 12 Primary (or after if I pull the upset of the decade v Herb Kohl.)
I've thus far spotted about 30 Candidates with myspace presences. Subject: For Politech: Thoughts on DOPA Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 11:53:22 -0700 (PDT) From: David Burt <davidburt2000 () yahoo com> To: declan () well com (snip)> The filtering companies would need to fine tune
Social Networking into a new category to targetthis more accurately, and they may already be doing this. (For example, Myspace.com is classified bySurfControl as Personals and Datinghttp://mtas.surfcontrol.com/mtas/MTAS.asp and by SmartFilter as Dating/Socialhttp://www.smartfilterwhere.com
