To combat it, legislators have brought through committee a poorly conceived, over-broad Congressional bill, The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.

Nice way to cover up what their actual intent is. Every idiot will see the part about stomping out child pornography, which is not what this will do, and immediately jump on board.
Just out of curiosity: Would shota/loli be considered child pornography even though it is completely fictional? Never really looked into that as I had assumed people were smart enough to tell the difference, but that was stupid on my part.

Man these idiots just don't give up. They're gonna turn 2012 into 1984. Worst yet, our tax dollars are being wasted debating such useless bills.

That is the tricky area right there, but most likely it would be categorized as pornography instead of art despite it being fiction.

I would have hoped people could tell the difference between artwork and pornography, seems they are too stupid.

Can anything on the Internet really be confined to being "within the US?"
Even if it means any site with an IP within the US, the Internet's a big place.
Who's going to do all of that monitoring? And what about proxy IPs?
