If someone says something offensive, you need verified ID next to the post, or it'll be deleted.

Which means political opinions in NY would be effectively squashed.

it does not ban or prevent anonymous postings.

but if the website administrator is based in NY then they will have to remove specific anonymous posts on request from their website.

and the answer to this problem is just not have the webstie admin living in new york.. problem solved.

Maybe it's a "partnership" with Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.  CT is losing jobs since so many hedge funds blew up and their taxes are as high as ours.  This seems tailor-made to send IT jobs across the state line into CT (and NJ).

Original Message Proposed legislation in both chambers would require New York-based websites, such as blogs and newspapers, to "remove any comments posted on his or her website by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post."

Republican Assemblyman Jim Conte said the legislation would cut down on "mean-spirited and baseless political attacks"

NYS is going after those big bag cyber bullies

Heres the bill:
