49. Everyone

. . . including Declan, can relax, although Declan is still fighting it.

The new bill puts in a new section relating to telecommunications over the Internet, but leaves in an exemption for an "interactive computer service," which means blogs, webpages, etc. That makes it clear that they did this to make sure that no one could use VoIP, Vonage, etc. and be immune from federal law concerning stalking over the phone.

No applicability to blogs whatsoever, or they would have taken the other section out as well.
