New Bipartisan Bill Will Allow U.S. Gov’t To Shut Off Any Website, Anywhere, For Any Reason

and, yeah, it's Wonkette, but I tend to agree with them on civil liberties, if not much else.... h xxp://wonkette.com/455343/new-bipartisan-bill-will-allow-u-s-govt-to-shut-off-any-website-anywhere-for-any-reason#more-455343

And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Barack Obama. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

If you can control HOW people communicate with each other, you can control WHAT people communicate about. Any message they dont like will not be heard by others, and this is as dangerous to us as it gets. Add in that people have given up a great deal of their Privacy for the ability to communicate. This enables the Government to target people specifically to make sure they do not speak again.

I don't click Wonkette, and don't believe a word they say. Is there really such a bill going through? If so, we need to spread the word.
