HOLY SHIT - They're censoring the internet

[BulgarianMenace]

group of powerful Senators -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- have signed onto a bill that would vastly expand the government's power to censor the Internet.

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced just one week ago, but it's greased and ready to move, with a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday. If people don't speak out, US citizens could soon find themselves joining Iranians and Chinese in being blocked from accessing broad chunks of the public Internet.

...

COICA's passage would be a tremendous blow to free speech on the Internet -- and likely a first step towards much broader online censorship. Please help us fight back: The first step is signing our petition. We'll give you the tools to share it with your friends and call your Senator.

It's finally come. Fucking bastards. The last great frontier being enslaved.

Sign the petition they link to and spread the news everywhere and to everyone you know.

I only just saw this. Thats pretty bad man. Was this stopped in the end or is it still going through (not being from US I'm not really update with US politics). I never was one to believe in governments being more than just "governments" but I'm not so sure anymore.

There was another thing about all these files wiki leaks exposed about all this stuff about US spies being everywhere spying on other governments. But instead of there being any pressure on the government the wiki leaks manager had all the pressure in him with sudden accusations. I remember one American politic claiming he should be executed for treason (shows he's a idiot as well lol) because apparently he put the world in danger by revealing all these secrets when surely it was the government's fault for doing that shit in the 1st place how is that right.
