  • the internet is open source, NO one should have control for it.

  • hm, should I watch the 40 minute video, or should I just comment my opinion anyways?

    meh, INTERNET IS MY SANCTUARY, OF FREE THOUGHTS AND MY YARD OF ANGRY TEENAGERS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

    Anyways, if you've seen Justin Beiber's views on youtube, you'd be censoring over 500 Million little girls so what's it really going to do?

see all

  • what will the next thing be for US? a master race?

  • it`s controlled allready ......because of power issues goverments allway take the way of frightening the people of the countries to handle them ....they seems to work like the nazi joseph Goebells said >the best manipulation is those which will not be notified by the people , by the individual human< so wake up to reality

  • I'm very worried that fascist USA will be aiming to censure the internet. They despise free press.

  • @pchawk1 It´s allready total propaganda war out here...

  • It's a totalitarian Corporatist America.

    Those with the highest bid get what they want. they bid for politicians and thus the people have no say, because what say do we have when the selections are for bought candidate number 1 and bought candidate number two, both of which hold no will of any people who voted for them, just those that bought them.

    It's a failed system that needs to be revamped.

    There are no ideals in a bought government.

    We have to reform how People run in Campaigns.

  • And let the internet become what TV is... fuck no, thank you.

    I'm never going back to that.

    Got rid of my Cable TV a long time ago. I don't need to pay for someone's biased narrative anymore and news that isn't news.

    Also I heard about Sopa, and Protect IP from the internet itself from websites who have a stake in this as well.

    I'm well aware of the situation and have voiced my opinion about it.

  • Google is government sponsored - anything related to "google" does tracking, including to your cell phone.

  • How is this? Private websites have been practicing censorship
