I saw this too. And what better way to silence the truth, and to silence the people? By taking control and censoring. Thomas Jefferson once wrote,
" the best way for a government to rule its people, is to silence them, and that is called Tyranny".

In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there
will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed from the internet and not just in the US.
Please see the following article from the Huffington Post for more information.

Just exactly right! Its appalling to see so many people willing to be told what to do when to do it, rather than make the decision for themselves! Its complete lunacy!

What's to think about... unless it is an American site then it will not have an effect on Canada, It will not be blocked from our Canadian servers. I don't believe Harper will stand for the US deciding what we can see and not see. I don't burn or download so I don't really care. and what's the connection... Aussie...Canuck? Hmmm... none.

How the hell do you people come to the conclusion that they will be able to go outside of their own border to shut down sites. Enacted law IN THE UNITED STATES or not. The last I checked they do not have world wide control. Yes as I've said before they do things on their own without approval like going into Iraq with out approval from the UN. But that doesn't mean that they will be able to FOLLOW THROUGH with world wide internet domination. You folks just don't have that much control. sorry to bust the bubble.
The United States rejected a European Union proposal late 2005 that called for Internet control to go to the United Nations Working Group on Internet Governance. The U.S. had taken a position that U.N. administration (of the Internet) is not necessary," "I don't trust the U.N. to be efficient," "The U.S. has taken a position that U.N. administration (of the Internet) is not necessary," said David Mussington, an analyst at RAND Corporation.
RAND CORPORATION is a nonprofit global policy think tank first formed to offer research and analysis to the United States armed forces by Douglas Aircraft Company. It is currently financed by the U.S. government. So if the UN is incapable of managing the internet... what makes the US so capable. Especially when there would be a very selfish and nonholistic view of what should be allowed. You can't BUT I can! Hmmm?
So example when something pops up on Aljazeera that the US government doesn't like they can shut it down... That's BS... We'll see what we see!
If the countries decided to join together to push out the specific sites I would have no problem with that. But not one for all when it's not all for one.
