Go read the bill and the law it changed. (HR347) [View all]

There are a lot of people saying a lot of things regarding this. From the threads I have read, very few posters have read either section 1752 of Title 18, USC or the contents of HR 347, which amends that section. This is what was voted on, and it doesn't say what people are saying it said. You can read it all for yourself and understand what's being discussed.

Go read the law:

Here's Title 18, USC, Section 1752, which was the only thing changed by this bill. This link has the law as it was before it was modified by HR 347:

Here's HR 347, which changes part of Section 1752:

That is what the bill did, and that's all it did. You can read it, too. It's short and pretty simple, as far as laws and bills go. I highly recommend it.
