Its probably them scaring you about the new bill anti-piracy law being introduced to congress this week that will completely fuck over sites like youtube and flickr and 4chan. Basically the government is going to take over the internet.

True but its kind of a stupid bill. Then again, Hundreds of bills each year are introduced to congress each year but don't get passed.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. 4chan being gone doesn't affect me directly, I just wonder if it will mean more or less stupidity on NS.

I'm so pissed about this. If it passes and Tumblr is shut down I'll rage hard. This is a great way for the government to have a WHOLE lot of riots and protests on their hands.

Yeah and I heard somewhere that its going to allow third party groups charge you to visit a site that is normally free to visit and browse. Not sure though.

I honestly don't see a problem with some internet censorship anyways. It's not like they are going to block any of the websites I visit on a daily basis.

good 4chan deserves to die.

also the amount of child pornography on that site is enough of a reason to shut that shit down in my opinion.

What would it do to youtube? maybe delete the copywrited stuff? I have no issues with that. I don't even know what flickr is. As for porn, again i'm sure all they would do is delete copywrited stuff and probably also make it harder for kids to see it.

Basically doing any of that censorship does not seem like such a big deal to me.

i agree that it's a questionable bill, im just saying that when you said communist i think you mean something more along the lines of fascist or authoritarian
