Stop the Internet Blacklist

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?  Seriously, WTF?

The last thing we need is the <expletive deleted> government blacklisting websites with the force of law.

Oh, sure, it's supposedly an anti-piracy measure.... on the surface.  How long will it STAY that way, though?

Screw this!

About 10 seconds...and the ISPs can't wait to comply with it, either.


Goodbye 1st Amendment. 'Twas nice knowing you. The internet was the last place where just about anybody could reach anybody else on the net and do it with a certain level of anonymity (certain organizations even worked to get the FreeNet into restricted countries).


It was a freedom that could not be allowed to stand, particularly after this freedom has helped to expose politicians for the frauds they are...citizens that would have been ignorant on issues became aware and angry...

And don't forget the way the internet has cheated state governments out of sales taxes..look for that to be fixed in the future, too.
