The internet was created to be decentralized and resilient after all. think again. they already blocked a pro-union website in wisconsin once the dominos start falling, it'll be hard to stop it and the US still controls the net.

If you've linked to anything on Twitter, you probably have. The .ly suffix, beloved of those who want to shorten their links (usually to bit.ly), belongs to Libya, and according to "policy wonk" Jerry Brito writing on Time's Techland section it faces an uncertain future. source: BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..romero.. Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Re: Stop Internet Censorship: COICA bill under consideration and don't forget the fact that lots of people in this country are too apathetic. consumers by and large, still hold all the cards. but consumers have become uninformed and greedy. this.mos people know this bill is bad,they are just too lazy to get involved,whether that be because of loss of faith in government or if its purely out of apethy... if it passes we(the american people) should get together and swarm the capital and just take up space,nothing violent but dont let anyone leave until they talk about it,and every event thats open to the public, especially those with broadcasts on cspan. and dont let anything proceed until shit is changed.at the very least it will get on the news and start a public forum on the discussion and might be enough to pressure the gov. to pull the bill. people bitch alot about the wrong doings of the government,but if more people would protest and really show that they mean business the politicians would have such a harder time pullin sly shit like they do.

!@#$% Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Re: Stop Internet Censorship: COICA bill under consideration heard about this book today the filtration of your internet so that you remain in your cocoon, never having to experience anything outside of your comfort zone, all thanks to the fact that the net has you pegged based on your history ...... Even if you’re not logged into Google, for example, an engineer told me there are 57 signals that the site uses to figure out who you are: whether you’re on a Mac or PC or iPad, where you’re located when you’re Googling, etc. And in the near future, it’ll be possible to “fingerprint” unique devices, so that sites can tell which individual computer you’re using. . . . As Google engineer Jonathan McPhie explained to me, [personalization is] different for every person – and in fact, even Google doesn’t totally know how it plays out on an individual level. At an aggregate level, they can see that people are clicking more. But they can’t predict how each individual’s information environment is altered. In general, the things that are most likely to get edited out are the things you’re least likely to click on. Sometimes, this can be a real service – if you never read articles about sports, why should a newspaper put a football story on your front page? But apply the same logic to, say, stories about foreign policy, and a problem starts to emerge. Some things, like homelessness or genocide, aren’t highly clickable but are highly important.

This version changes the “interactive computer services” language mentioned in our post below to “information location tools,” a term that points back to section 512(d) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In that context it’s been generally understood to refer to search engines, though there’s no guarantee we wouldn’t see efforts to expand the definition in actions under this bill. But in any case, requiring search engines to remove links to an entire website raises serious First Amendment concerns considering the lawful expression that may be hosted on the same domain. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Last year’s rogue website legislation is back on the table, with a new name: the "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011"—or (wink, wink) "PROTECT IP".

THIS WEEK Senators will be voting on a "Ten Strikes" bill to make it a felony to stream copyrighted content -- like music in the background of a Youtube video -- more than ten times. As the writers at TechDirt point out, under this bill you could go to jail for posting video of your friends singing karaoke: The entertainment industry is freaking out about sites that embed and stream infringing content, and want law enforcement to put people in jail over it, rather than filing civil lawsuits.... We already pointed to one possibility: that people embedding YouTube videos could face five years in jail. Now, others are pointing out that it could also put kids who lip sync to popular songs, and post the resulting videos on YouTube, in jail as well. That's right: Ten strikes and you could get jail time. Less than two weeks ago, the Hollywood industry magazine, Variety, reported, "Industry lobbyists pressed House members on Wednesday to pass legislation that would make illegal streaming of movies, TV shows and other types of content a felony...."

!@#$% Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Re: Stop Internet Censorship: COICA bill under consideration the problem is, it took a government to build the first one if a second one got built, it would be by corporations, and even more fucked. things just got worse, btw Yesterday a U.S. House committee approved HR 1981, a broad new Internet snooping bill. They want to force Internet service providers to keep track of and store their customers' information -- including your name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses. The American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Demand Progress, and 25 other civil liberties and privacy groups have expressed our opposition to this legislation. They've shamelessly dubbed it the "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act," but our staunchest allies in Congress are calling it what it is: an all-encompassing Internet snooping bill. CNet Reports: Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, who led Democratic opposition to the bill said, "'It represents a data bank of every digital act by every American' that would 'let us find out where every single American visited Web sites.'" "The bill is mislabeled," said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the panel. "This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
