Mozilla flips DHS the bird.

Mozilla, maker of the open source Firefox browser, recently told the Department of Homeland Security that if you want to censor the Internet you better have a good reason or at least a legal justification. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the DHS' principal investigative arm, recently asked Mozilla to remove an add-on called MafiaaFire Redirector from the organization's Firefox add-ons site.

The government agency said MafiaaFire was circumventing a series of ICE domain seizures. MafiaaFire indexes seized domains and then redirect users to active sites that use the same name but now operate under a different Web address.

Mozilla posed a series of eleven questions to DHS about their request to take down MafiaaFire such as have any courts determined that MafiaaFire is illegal? Is Mozilla legally obligated to take down MafiaaFire? And, has the government talked to MafiaaFire about its concerns? So far, DHS has not responded to Mozilla's request for more information. Mozilla posed its questions to DHS on April 19.

"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

"People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Agreed!  Such bullshit they can take down sites with zero legal proceedings.

immediatly installed that addon thanks to the advertising by DHS. such fail, I don't understand what they are doing, same with ICE and there ways of seizing domains but not doing anything bout the servers or sites themselves, they are actually helping the pirates by advertising there websites. lol :rofl2:
