&gt;any “information service, system, internet search engine, or access software provider operated by a company that owns and operates” a theme park or large entertainment complex<p>That is completely ridiculous. I wonder what the justification for this is, but it sounds like a line from &quot;Yes Minister&quot;.

Setting aside the theme park idiocy, I&#x27;m actually all for limiting bans to 60 days. Go be an asshole in public for a day, then take two months off. Come back, and if you haven&#x27;t learned your lesson, you get another 60 days to cool off. And yeah, you&#x27;re on a hair-trigger if you&#x27;ve just come back from a ban.<p>Reducing assholery by 60&#x2F;61 seems about as good as banning it 100% to me. I&#x27;m even all for letting the Asshole in Chief come back to FB&#x2F;Twitter -- though of all people he should be able to just start up a new ban-free channel (and watch it be overcome by spammers in a few seconds, because that&#x27;s what happens when a channel doesn&#x27;t moderate).

So politicians are formally setting themselves up as more equal than others, able to violate a site&#x27;s TOS with impunity, where the rest of us can&#x27;t.<p>Royal roads are back, baby!

Hmm, I think the argument could be made that this violates Article 4 of the Constitution, and almost certainly at odds with the Commerce Clause.<p>The exclusion of theme parks and entertainment complexes is arbitrary, and not really helped by that state senator’s comment.
