I`ve just stumbled upon this and it make me gasp with a loud noise. What do you guys think of this Bill? Though i`m not of American Heritage, it seems like a possibility for the whole World, to pass such Bill`s or Law`s in other Countries as well. Censorship of the Internet. This is the main Goal imo. There is a Website dedicated to the topic. I`m baffled about the fact that this hasn`t been discussed here before. (The Search didn`t bring anything related up i might add) http://americancensorship.org/ There`s a Video on Vimeo about the topic. [video=vimeo;31100268]http://vimeo.com/31100268[/video] /discuss
Gotta love Obama. It's amazing people even think up these bills, much less Obama letting them see the light of day. Should be auto-vetoed. This the worst bill proposed since the Patriot Act. Ultra dangerous to liberty, not just to Americans, but to everyone in the world. The DOJ could shut down sites from anywhere in the world.
I'm also surprised how little attention this is getting. It looks like major internet companies are teaming up to plead for the bill's rejection:
This bill goes hand in hand with the S. 978 bill. More internet censorship bullshit that is probably going to end up being passed.
I've been meaning to make a post about this but every time I start to or even thought about it I got really depressed at the state of things and how shitty our leaders are at the moment and I guess I forced myself into an abyss of gloom. Really, I don't have any good feelings about this situation at all.
The bill definitely won't be passed in its current form, and most of the sites I use are smart enough to avoid it in any case.
I have no proof of this, but I did read it on a youtube comment that Obama himself opposes the bill, and will veto if it passes through. But then again I've reserached and could not find this anywhere. :/ But yeah, the bill is one of the most rediculous things I've ever seen.
