- 2006-07-27 — Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006: Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 (H.R. 5319) passed the House 410-15 and would have required E-rate-funded schools and libraries to block commercial social networking sites and chat rooms except for supervised educational use, and directed the FCC to issue public consumer alerts about online predators; the bill died in the Senate and never became law.
