> [...] Proposition 35 would force individuals to provide law enforcement with

> In today’s online world, users may set up accounts on websites to communicate
> with family members, discuss medical conditions, participate in political
> advocacy, or even listen to Internet radio. An individual on the registered
> sex offender list would be forced to report each of these accounts to law
> enforcement within 24 hours of setting it up – or find themselves in jail.
> This will have a powerful chilling effect on free speech rights of tens of
> thousands of Californians.
