Here’s the text of the Securing Adolescents from Exploitation Online Act. (UPDATE: Sorry, but the previous link was a temporary link. I’ve relinked the bill text but you have to click on the second version once you get to the target page.)

Here’s the roll call vote.

All 13 of North Carolina’s House members voted for this ridiculous bill. Don’t they ever sit with a coffee and a sweet roll on a Sunday and read the Times and the Post at a place with Wi-Fi? Probably not. They’ve all got Blackberrys and don’t need to find it.

It just shows how far you can get with a piece of legislation that is purported “for the children.” Soon someone will get smart and draft a bill taking away all of our Bill of Rights freedoms and name it a “protect the children bill” and it just might pass, especially when the honorables are about to head out the door for the Christmas (oops, sorry) Winter holidays.
