Section 6(c) "Technical Standards" looks intriguing. Basically tasking NIST with publishing technical standards for online messaging, multimedia sharing, and social networking.

Definitely some good parts here, but I'm still worried about the laws of unintended consequences. Nobody thought that allowing software patents would be bad, but clearly that's been way more costly than anyone imagined. I worry the same is true here.

This paragraph on its own is great. Would love to see a step-by-step approach rather than doing everything at once. Less change for screwing up, and you can adjust new legislation as needed.
