Wow this stinks 
do the American government think they are...................????? :y14:
The One thinks he is the Second Coming.
Does anyone know what they actually want to do
Monitor, censor and regulate the Internet.
Thanks 
Well it's a little more than that but it is basically an effort to control the Internet. Barry and his thugs don't like people saying anything about them and have said several times they want control over what is posted. At this time the regulation is setting up a smoke and mirrors stage for them to do just that by making it about corporations that are damaged by information posted on the web or thru copyright infringement.
There is probably a little good in the bills but from what I've read there is a lot of gray areas that could be exploited to cover just what Barry and his thugs have said they want to do if it should become law.

It is amazing I never thought about it until today just how much I actually use Wikipedia. While looking for information this morning I have landed up on their page I don't know how many times. :y8:
There are other sites blacked out also. This is what I find on AdvRider:
The purported purpose of the bills is to stop copyright infringement. However, as is usually the case, the proposed laws go to far and give politicians (government) too much power. If you go to the Wiki site, click on the link and you can read what the bills are about.

Aren't "progressives" great! :y14:
I never knew about this until now so it's too late for TT to support it I suppose. The major search engines should have done it as well that would have tweaked a bit of interest I am sure
The major search engines won't do it because of $$$$$$

Google has stuff about it supporting the black out on it's home page. But I for one am glad the major search engines haven't gone as far as a black out because they are needed.
This is why it would have made a huge impact on this and they should have gone black. Just had a look and this is a bit of a poor show from them I must say
