yup anonymous is gonna be ticked.....

I had wondered, but your writing was so clear I didn't suspect English was a secondary language for you. Just thought listening might be ;P

This guy is one of the good guys, if there are any...that's why I took issue with your comment.

[Erik Ljungdahl]

ah, thank you. he said vying, English isn't my first language, so i didn't really understand everything.

[aaronpolitical]

You suck at listening. He said "that there are great countries vying for control", as there were in the Cold War.

Now, there are not. It's just the US, trying to run everything in the world. BUT, this guy didn't make the ignorant statement you claim he did. This guy is, in all likelihood, on your (and my) side. Based on his statements, obviously.

[Erik Ljungdahl]

... just noticed something. 5:20 . he said that some country might be wanting world domination.

FUCKING IRONY MUCH? WELL, INCASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW JOHN BARLOW, IT'S YOU! AMERICA!

[Erik Ljungdahl]

Fuck America trying to own the internet.

I know he's important and all, but I don't think the guest said anything valuable. EFF is kind of revered, but the still don't understand much about regular human life.

I don’t know who I feel less comfortable about having all this information: the government or Google. It would be great if none of them had it.

[threeve111]

Kind of ironic that CISPA is more ambiguous than SOPA or PIPA when ambiguity was the supposed reason for withdrawing the latter two

[0330mom]

I don't trust the government to protect my privacy either!
