Default New US Link and domain law

I do not wish for the government to take away any rights we enjoy no matter how small. Having said that, I do wish to see legislation, such as this, that prevents people from falsely representing themselves on the WWW. As stated before, it is absolutely embarrassing, frustrating and wrong when I am trying to show my children something they need to learn or want to see on the web and they get an eyeful, without warning, of things they don't need to see. And it is not just pornography, as far as I am concerned, it is anything being mis-represented. If I ask a sales person to see a certain piece of merchandise, I do not expect that person to show me something that has absolutely nothing to do with my request and believe the same principle applies to the web.

We should also have laws that prevent a large portion of these sites from downloading ANYTHING to my PC without my permission. It is, in my opinion, no different than breaking into my home and dropping trash and disease in my living room. These people are costing individuals and companies around the world, millions of dollars. I do know that some of these companies are not in US jurisdiction and therefore not prosecutable under our laws. We should vigorously
get other countries to attempt same legislation. We should treat these people as evil minded terrorists of our children and our right to be safe in our own homes. I feel violated when a virus tries to get into my PC's and even more so when I am inundated with popups and ads I did not want or ask for.

Kudos, FOR ONCE, to our Congress.
