OmegaWave Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 [url="http://americancensorship.org/"]http://americancensorship.org/[/url] Because I was asked to make this topic. Nothing more than the government sucking up to their money makers and continuing to take away our rights. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using it for non-profitable purposes, you are more than allowed to do that. Lucky I'm not in America then :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 f*** The Government. [b] [quote]Website Blocking[/b] The government can order service providers to block websites for infringing links posted by any users.[/quote] Well, there goes our site. And Facebook and Twitter and Youtube and Photobucket and Imageshack....need I say more? And also, since everything is run with a Republican Congress right now, the only thing the Democrats can do is sit back in their chairs and not do a damn thing about it.

NO ONE SINGS ON FACEBOOK TO GAIN MONEY, YOU FUCKTARDS! PEOPLE DO IT BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO DO IT AND SHOW OFF TO THEIR FRIENDS! SERIOUSLY, YOU IDIOTS IN CONGRESS NEED TO STOP WITH THESE BULLSHIT LAWS! It was Bill Clinton who initiated the program to start the Internet in the first place, and now the Government wants to get rid of it? Seriously? WTF? If this keeps up, I'm moving to the U.K. EDIT: If I need to clean this up, then so be it. But I'm still pretty mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Clear and Present Danger doctrine. tl;dr The Surpreme Court can completely ignore the amendments (aka our rights) if the country is in clear and present danger. We are currently in a (never ending) war on terrorism. Our government is not perfect. At all. Other countries have a constitution that's awesome an is younger than ours (coughjapancough) and they do awesome. Why is it our government has to be the corrupted one?

Dwarven King Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 GOOD NEWS: YCM won't be seeing a black censorship bar at midnight due to YCMaker being...err...inactive? o.o I now know how the world will end 2012. BAD NEWS: Nerds will strike out against the government. The government will retaliate against the nerds. The Rednecks will get angry at the retaliation and will strike out against the nerds blaming them for the retaliation. Nerds will then freak out and attempt to create super soldiers but fail and create zombies instead. Zombies will begin roaming the planet. In the event of above statements, or anything simliar, happening, please calmly get on the internet and look up how to survive the zombie apocalypse. Wait...the Government is going to censor the internet. ...scratch that plan and run like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byak Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Did anyone itt read the actual bill or actually knows how Congress works? neither the House or the Senate has passed this yet, calm your tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 It's not about the bill, but more about government corruption as a whole. You live in the US right, you should be well informed of such a topic. To answer your question though, I have read S978 and S968. They are as vague as people say. I'm assuming this builds off those.

byak Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 itt: 5% of the House supporting a bill to infringe human rights is TOTAL GOVERMENT CORRUPTION OMG Saying that the American Government wants to pass this bill is a gigantic overstatement. The bill was introduced three weeks ago, and it takes a shitton of review and discussion and changes to make it an actual law, not to mention we don't see the whole House or the whole Senate supporting it.
