18 U.S.C. 2257 compliance notice: | ||
| In respect to the recent guidance from the Department of Justice:
http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/optf/links/2257-compliance-guide.html Q. How does the rule apply to social networking sites? A. Most social networking sites would not be covered by the rule because its definition of "produces" excludes "the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting, formatting, or translation (or any combination thereof) of a communication, without selection or alteration of the communication." Social networking sites would not then normally need to comply with the rule's record-keeping requirements, labeling requirements, or be required to maintain information concerning their users, and the rule would therefore have no effect on the operations of the site. However, users of social networking sites who post sexually explicit activity on "adult" networking sites may well be primary or secondary producers. Therefore, users of social networking sites may be subject to the rule, depending on their conduct. |
