Of all the things that are out there right now (Satan, Jesus, Jeff the Killer Clown, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Tooth Fairy, etc.), this scares me the most -- truly frightens me. Here the head of the MPAA actually suggests that we should censor the Internet the same as China does. Scared yet?
I don't often jump on political bandwagons -- refer to my response to the Occupy movement -- but I really do not want to see what could happen if SOPA and PROTECT-IP pass. Just think, the Mormons could sue Venger because of copyright infringement if they wanted, and have the Cult website shut down just because they viewed us as a threat. Maybe a bit exaggerated, true, but not entirely impossible, either.[glow=red,2,300] Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn![/glow]

This 'threat' has bee discussed since the Internet was released for public use. It was a military development, people tend to forget that fact.
There is already a level of filtering and censorship, the increase on censorship will be in the name of 'National Security', mark my words.
I don't think it will get as bad as China, but there will be some filtering as it relates to securing classified information.

This topic may be of interest to you. I take some of the media reports for people to look at, and measure the mechanical reactions and hysteria they create.
People are often distracted by conspiracy theory, and rely far too much on the media monster to feed them.

I wouldn't worry about it anyway. The censorship doesn't work for china anyway. Everyday hundreds of Chinese by pass their countries national filter. In fact doing so is becoming cultural past time.

Huzzah! I read that the White House came out and publicly stood against both Bills, and that now they are effectively dead. Long live internet freedom!
