sorry if repost. i couldnt find anything after search barring

http://americancensorship.org/

Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system.
This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same.

Website Blocking
The government can order service providers to block websites for infringing links posted by any users.

Risk of Jail for Ordinary Users
It becomes a felony with a potential 5 year sentence to stream a copyrighted work that would cost more than $2,500 to license, even if you are a totally noncommercial user, e.g. singing a pop song on Facebook.

Chaos for the Internet
Thousands of sites that are legal under the DMCA would face new legal threats. People trying to keep the internet more secure wouldn't be able to rely on the integrity of the DNS system.



this cant be good. lets hope it doesnt pass. everyone! please send a letter after clicking on the site!

I thought statistics indicated that a vast majority of people who use the internet access unauthorized copyrighted material.

If it were to pass, supreme court would shit it down unanimously. Huge violation of the first ammendment (freedom of speech, freedom of press)

I imagine if this passed anon would literally stage a covert operation to jack off inside the government servers running the firewall.

There won't be gov't servers, they'll just use coercion to force ISP's and major websites to abide by their loosely defined rules.
But yeah, anon will strike, hard. And I'll be helping.

Internet cowboy for LIFE.

Actually this is one of the more bipartisan things going on now.

Funny how the only thing they can agree on is censoring a medium most of them don't even understand or use.

not mods you should be addressing, they can't do anything. Admins are who you want to ask.

Plus NS is a canadian website. but they would lose a shitload of traffic if this passed.

oh yeah, I totally forgot that lol.
But you're right, they'd lose a ton of traffic/ad money. Plus posting rules would get real tight. Orwellian status for sure.
