Thanks for your comments Gail. You are right, I didn’t mention the “take-down” possibilities implemented in the bill.

There is a similar bill about to pass in Russia right now, I hope I will have the time to write about it soon. Seems every government wants to control the Internet.

Gail, I’m concerned about this stuff too and hope to publish more on this and other topics like Internet taxation this year. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.

One aspect of these bills that you didn’t mention is that they allow anyone to initiate a take-down of any site and their ISP is required to block your site. So any person for any reason can silence any other person.

They can sometimes also include provisions that will require bloggers to be licensed or pay for their site to be accessed or pay if they don’t want their site to take forever to load.

These are all serious issues we must all prevent if at all possible or the glory days of free communication on the Internet as we know it will be over.

In a CFR Meeting Obama advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Council on Foreign Relations of his Fears of the Global Awakening to their plans – and the Internet is how that information got spread.

There are powerful elite who want to take away our Internet and especially shut up the people who have exposed their plans. They will NEVER stop trying to stop our ability to share online so we can never relax.
