So while you and I might not think of Blogger as a social network, obviously the person trying to enact this legislation - and someone he has chosen as an advisor - do. David didn't add Blogger to the list - Detective Riordan did.

The bill doesn't actually define what is meant by "social networking websites." Yes - I know blogger isn't like Myspace. And Myspace isn't like Digg (another social networking site). And Digg isn't like aadl's SOPAC (another social networking site). And that's the problem. Craig – can you prove that the bill doesn’t mean blogger.com when it talks about social networks?

Yes – I know blogger isn’t like Myspace. And Myspace isn’t like Digg (another social networking site). And Digg isn’t like aadl’s SOPAC (another social networking site).

And that’s the problem.
