A Fine Geal mayo td is calling for providing photo ID and proof of address to be mandatory for setting up a facebook account to, "clamp down on bullying".

God will struggle I'd guess, unless they did birth certs 24 billion years ago.

I'm sure Zuckerberg is getting on it right away. It doesn't get more authoritative than a Fine Gael TD in this world.

What if you have no fixed abode?

Already exists, sort of.
Some people are being told they need photo ID (government issued) and a phone number just to make an account on Facebook.

That won't clamp down on online bullying.

They have Internet in mayo?

Fine Gael seems to attract a shocking number of people who want to change the nature of technology that they don't have the slightest bloody notion about.

That idiot decided that game consoles should be legally obliged to fit some kind of chip that would turn it off after two hours (for twelve hours, no less) to stop children from playing too long. Sony and Microsoft will get right on that, you cheese-brained cretin.

Or ban people under the age of 18 having an account.

Who knew the blue shirts would want to have some way to know what we were all doing..... Once a fascist, always a fascist.

Or or here is a mad Idea ... try that thing called parenting and not taking the garbage man approach out of the Simpsons... Why have people forgotten there responsible for the children and not everyone else ?
