In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed from the internet and not just in the US.
Please see the following article from the Huffington Post for more information.
Stop the Internet Blacklist
And if you are a US citizen, please take the time to sign this petition
DemandProgress.org - Petition to Stop the Internet Blacklist!
*******************
First off, the US has already appointed itself World Police, do we need them controlling the whole Internet as well?
HELL NO. The Internet is one of the few truly Free Speech places left. Porn, Pirates and Politics aside, this is an answer to NOTHING.
Stop The US From Trying to Police EVERYTHING. Please.
