Yahoo News says the House voted overwhelmingly to establish a new domain for kid-friendly Web sites and to expand wiretap authority to target Internet predators.
The domain measure, approved on a 406-2 vote, would have the federal government oversee a \”.kids.us\” domain on the Internet that would have only material appropriate for children under 13. Web site operators\’ participation would be voluntary. Parents could set computer software to limit a child\’s access to only addresses ending in .kids.us.
Read Bill H.R. 3833.
\”I have repeatedly said that libraries have children\’s book sections, why can\’t the Internet have the same type of section devoted to children\’s interests?\”
-Rep. John Shimkus
