It's illegal to annoy
A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language.

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."



Sounds like to me this should put annoying posts to an end... assuming people can figure out who the annoyer is... !

the offender has to intend to annoy the other person for the crime to stick.

also i'm going to sue your ass for annoying me with a repost.

R-

what a fucking annoying repost!!!

I'm annoyed that you're annoying me by telling me this is a repost!!

All this jibber jabber is annoying.

Looks like you all get to go to Federal pound-me-in-the-ass Prison for not more than two years!

its geared more toward iming people and threatening to kill them

Stop being annoying or I'll have to shoot you...
