Included in his post is a link to the text of the proposed bill as included in the Congressional Record. One frustrating change in the new bill is that it mashes together a variety of topics some of which would generate nearly universal support and others (e.g., objection to many commercial social networking tools) that in my opinion are questionable. I guess this is the way politicians like to play the game. Just for the record &#8211; I am against child pornography and predators of any type. I am also opposed to this bill because it lacks the sophistication to differentiate criminal behavior from constructive educational practices.<\/p>\n<p>Andy&#8217;s post summarizes the description of social networking sites as a site that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> is offered by a commercial entity;<\/li>\n<li>  permits registered users to create an on-line profile that includes detailed personal information;<\/li>\n<li>  permits registered users to create an on-line journal and share such a journal with other users;<\/li>\n<li>  elicits highly-personalized information from users; and<\/li>\n<li> enables communication among users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just for the record:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I am using my own software and server to offer this blog so it is not commercial. Many teachers would not have the opportunity or skill to create a blog of this type and under this bill would not be  allowed to offer the content  because they would be prevented from using convenient and free commercial blogging sites.<\/li>\n<li>If anyone wants to go to the trouble, they can contribute to this blog by commenting on my posts. They would need to share some information before I would let them do this (I regard this commitment on their part as a security requirement). I could also allow others to generate original posts, but I do not. I would encourage them to create their own blog and we can link back and forth.<\/li>\n<li>I would hope this blog enables communication among users.<\/li>\n<li>I am not certain what eliciting highly-personal information means &#8211; is this one of those you know it when you see it standards?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is true that the bill stipulates that school personal can use social software in situations that they supervise. I have previously explained that most teachers are not in a position to turn filters on and off at will. I would also suggest that the beauty of social software is that it reaches beyond school walls to involve others at other times and from other locations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right; font-size: 8px\">Blogged with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flock.com\/blogged-with-flock\" title=\"Flock\" target=\"_new\">Flock<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_931\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"931\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/learningaloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Carvin has generated a very complete analysis of the new version of DOPA.
