Net Neutrality is Gone!

Hey i dont know if you guys have heard the news but a couple a days ago the senate passed the PROTECT IP Act which allows our government to censor our internet. I believe that it was passed to stop torrent and file sharing but the bill says more. If i understand it correctly, anything they deem unacceptable(such as, maybe, our beautiful site here) can be siezed and shut down by court order. They can also block international sites like thepiratebay and make google censor our searches to omit what we really want.
Right now there is a senate man standing in the way and openly says he is opposing it all the way but if we dont want to end up like Korea, we gotta do something about it cause the powers that turn the world crank dont like the internet and have been trying to stop it ever since they couldn't control it.

Um.. all it did was pass a committee not the entire senate. The senate still has to vote on it, and Wyden placed a hold on it. This might effectively kill the bill, so we're still at a wait and see stand point on this.

Well, we all knew this was going to happen sooner or later. When it really happens and the get rid of cool sites like this is when I say fuck the internet. Until then I'm wasting time on the interwebz.

If they take away my fourth amendment rights and the integrity of the internet within a year, I'm making immediate plans to leave the country.
But what will I do without my freedom to surf the internet, get high, defend myself against unreasonable searches... shop?

I hadn't even considered that! What if we have to start fapping to pictures instead of videos, like it was in the 90s?

"Once again, what we have here is a terrible bill that provides for broad censorship power not just to the government, but potentially to private companies as well, against sites which they accuse of being dedicated to infringement."

This is news?
Did anyone actually expect a different result? When more folk vote for American Idol than kick their elected officials in the jewels with steel-toed boots?

This is seriously messed up people.
I mean, chances are this law won't pass (or at least anytime soon I hope), but just thinking about a world with no free internet scares the shit out of me.

As I've been saying. Obama = piece of shit.
Americas going down the tubes. Slowly turning from a nanny state to an old age home.

I understand what you mean, but I don't think Obama is directly responsible for what's happening with the US of A.
He's nothing but a stupid puppet who does what he's instructed to do, IMO.
