So? This isn't a big deal to me since I don't spend my life on the internet.


Censorship is a huge deal because it's the first step to fascism.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

So...ummm...does anyone know what they are trying to do....other than "Censor the Internet"....like, how and stuff? Just wondering if anyone in here knows what they are posting about, and if it even effects them...you know...just saying...


Well, just knowing the Government is trying to "censor" the Internet and are discussing it behind the people's back is reason enough to show worry.
Bad things happen when the Government decides to hide things.
So you don't. You just heard somewhere that "the big bad government is trying to censor the internet" and you knee jerked.

OK.

Google's statement says they are meeting without direct represntation of the people - just government officials.

Yet every time NATO or some international organization meets it meets without direct people representation. Yet you don't hear everyone here rampaging about them setting trade sanctions on Syria, meeting to discuss how to distribute aid to underdeveloped countries, etc.

Kneee jerk reaction is knee jerk.

The fact that people believe this is astounding.

Still, petitions are against the rules.

Yep, just sit back and pretend everything is OK bro.

You clearly have no idea what fascism is.


Actually I know exactly what is is. And Censorship and ultra biased information is the key in forming the ideals that the individual fascist state will be based on.

Fascism are very authoritarian and nationalist and those two culminate into creating a war machine. -blam!- Germany is a very good example of a fascist state.

They won't stop until it ends. Honestly, you know your government is corrupt beyond belief if they try to force a bill that people have said no to multiple times. If the general public voted it would be somewhere around 95% against.

Has anyone else noticed how it's a holiday season bill as well? Well if they know you'll hate it, they try to do it in a way that it will receive as little attention as possible.

It's barely been mentioned in the news. I just heard about it now. Along with this they are meeting to discuss children with disabilities and some how the child has to be registered with the UK if you're in the US

Yeah, I don't know. This could be a move by Google. I don't know.

You what I know? I do know that, whatevers going on, I don't like it.

By the way, you trust governments too much. You still have a lot to learn.
