I hate politics. I value honesty, morality, and personal responsibility, all of which seem to be overwhelmingly lacking in nearly every area of politics and law making.
Having said all that, I still try to follow what’s going on. Why? Well, because I need to know what’s going on if I plan to vote, and how can I expect things to get better (or not get worse) if I won’t do anything about it. The Protect IP Act is a perfect example. It needs to be stopped because it threatens our free speech and the internet as a whole. The video below sums it up pretty well.
Go to Fight for the Future and American Censorship to send a message to congress.
This has all been predicted. I don’t think there is use in only sending letters to congress.
Senator Hilary Clinton slipped something live on TV and said: “we are all in a media war.. and we are losing this war”. Now, since they control most of the TV and news stations media outlets, the only media outlet they don’t control, is the net.
Hence, the need for internet censorship. This is only step one. More to come.
Well, it looks like Hillary is claiming that private media is “not enough” when we face countries with much more cohesive media. However, I agree that the first step is saying we need government run media, and the next step would be removing private media. It’s a scary thing and one that DEFINITELY needs to be stopped.
