doublebuttass 0 Posted January 21, 2012 this is a copy from a friend of mine who is really into politics. thought i should share this with you guys Dammit, it's like freaking whack-a-mole. We kill SOPA, all of the sudden, two more threats to internet freedom and security pop up. Here's a quick run-down: ACTA: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. An international trade agreement that would make it so that ISPs (Internet Service Providers) would track everything you download and upload. I you download or upload anything that is copyrighted, your internet can be shut down and you can be fined. Additionally, incident reports will be sent to the copyright owner so that they can press charges against you. Mind you, this wouldn't only be if I uploaded all of the film V for Vendetta onto YouTube, but also if I happened to film one of my cats doing something silly near the television while I happened to be watching V for Vendetta. Crazy, right? PCIPA: The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act. Do NOT let the name fool you. This bill has nothing to do with protecting kids from porn. It would allow ISPs to hold all of your internet information for months, including credit card information, and make them hand it over to the government at a whim.

trifdign 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Politics & Government also interests me. You guys ever heard of NDAA? It stands for National Defense Authorization Act. I'll quote a passage from the first link I'll post below to sum it up: "Although the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act placed strong restrictions on how and when the U.S. military may be used on American soil, the language of this bill supersedes Posse Comitatus, empowering the president to unilaterally impose martial law at any time of his choosing. This legislation signals the end of the rule of law in America."

Ribbit 0 Posted January 22, 2012 I hope these bills get passed, they'll obviously make the U.S. a better place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xepher 3 Posted January 22, 2012 The problem are not the laws, the real problem is that the idiots who control our country support them Hence this is why I think when the world is going to end, it will be due to idiotic politicians around the world blowing each other up.

syN_ 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Surprised? I'm not. They are going to try everything they can to enforce whatever control they can muster. What can you do? The same thing we've always done. Fight-Back. We may have stopped SOPA/PIPA - but that was only round one. America will not be beaten into submission so easily. But they will try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenin 0 Posted January 23, 2012 These bills have been around long before SOPA and PIPA, it's just the newfound interest in internet law made people find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenlips 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Police have nothing to do with this kind of stuff.. All they can do is enforce it if they pass which is their job to enforce rules. I hate how people hate police officers for doing their jobs. I know some police officers are assholes and pricks and all that shit etc etc, but if you take away the corrupt retarded cops, the other ones are just doing their jobs.

I heard about this about a week after New Years when it was passed. Congress gave the President the right to arrest anyone he wants WHENEVER he wants, but of course Obama promises he won't ever use it. If that were true, then why did they put it in the NDAA in the first place? This bill is a complete violation of the Fourth Amendment. Seriously, what is going on in Congress? It is a scary thing to think about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
