Lawmakers in New Jersey have pushed the Internet Dating Safety Act through to the next step of the lawmaking process, even though most agreed the bill is based on allegedly incomplete and inconclusive background checks.
The difference between screening and background checks comes into play here, and most bills have failed to differentiate between the two.
Nine other states that have considered this bill have not passed it.

Initially the idea of dating on the internet was associated with alot of social stigma.It was thought of as a way for social misfits to meet. Come the 90′s and following the release of the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan box office hit “You’ve Got Mail”,online dating started being regarded as an effective and intelligent way for people to meet and even start relationships. Online dating become a favoured method especially for busy career people who had little time to socialize. With time it has caught on not only as a matter of necessity to meet people but also as a trendy thing to be involved in.
In traditional dating people are restricted to talking to people present in their social setting and people who one has no idea about their likes and dislikes or even their personal compatibility. Online dating provides the element of selectivity where the users are able to browse their potential partners profiles before actually communicating with them. There is also the advantage of not having to struggle with breaking ice as a simple hello in most cases often serves the purpose. There is also the option of selection, as there are thousands of people to choose from.
The law seems silly, it offers no protection at all while hurting internet dating companies. I look forward to hearing more about how this silly law plays out. I also wanted to mention that I found an interesting survey that gives stats about why people join online dating and even what people lie about in their profiles.

Just when we thought the blatantly obvious and self-serving PR stunts for True.com were over!
Instead of luring people with porno ads and keeping them with questionable billing practices (have a look at comments about them on http://www.Ripoffreport.com), perhaps they should now bite the bullet and fold up shop or finally show good taste by gaining and keeping customers with an honest product.
They are the laughing stock of the online dating industry, and it is good that stunts like this are repeatedly seen for what they are.
