Virginia panel issues recommendations for online safety
link

"Among the other recommendations:

_ Amend the law against online solicitation of children to protect children 17 and younger. The current law covers children younger than 15.

_ Allow authorities to seize computers and other equipment used by anyone convicted of online solicitation or possession of child pornography. The law already allows confiscation of equipment used by those who produce or distribute child porn.

_ Streamline procedures for investigators to obtain subscriber information from Internet service providers.

_ Allow "controlled deliveries" of child porn from police to suspected collectors of such material.

_ Eliminate an exception in the child pornography law for material used for legitimate artistic, medical, scientific, education, religious, governmental or judicial purposes.

_ Establish a regional computer forensic science lab to train police on how to investigate online crimes.

The task force previously had announced a proposal requiring convicted sex offenders to register their e-mail addresses and other online identities with the state sex offender registry. That would allow online social networking sites like MySpace.com to block messages from those offenders.

The proposals that require legislation will be considered in the General Assembly session that begins Jan. 10. "
