California's SB 1411, which adds a layer of criminal and civil penalties for certain online impersonations, goes into effect starting today. The consequences include a fine of up to $1,000, and/ or up to a year in jail. So don't go and do something crazy like impersonate Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Facebook. There may be consequences. The full text and a summary of the bill are below. There's a good overview and analysis of it as well, on ZDNet. The state has created a new crime, and a new section is being added to the penal code.
