You are really twisting this whole thing up into an unnecessarily complex conspiracy theory that seems to have no valid backing. You haven't explained exactly what they will be enforcing, let alone how they will do it. You just claim some internet laws supposedly made to enforce net neutrality will in fact achieve the opposite, without explaining how. You do realize they have access to all your browsing information anyway, if you think your ISP doesn't hand that stuff out you're probably sadly mistaken.

Well then show me the writing on the wall. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to believe what you're saying, but thus far all I've heard are claims and vague explanations. I don't have time to research the NN laws and make the same analysis you guys have. Make a thread on it or link me to a thread on it, so I can how these laws affect us, because I am interested in this stuff.
No it is not twisting. Is is reading the writing on the walls.
Well said. But I find it hard to believe they would create a law which streamlines the process for getting your personal browsing information, let alone name it the way they have. I wouldn't put it past them, but I would like to see some excerpts or something which explain how they do this.
That is EXACTLY what they did with the Patriot Act.
And their is nothing patriotic about that law.
And there is nothing neutral about net neutrality.

Boondock is right.
I am not wrong about anything, I am simply trying to get these guys to provide more clear and detailed information, instead of vague statements which could easily be interpreted as ill informed opinions. I believe, nay, I know the internet is being destroyed, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of how exactly it is being done. Stop turning this into a personal war between two opinions, and make it into a collaborative discussion where factual debate is encouraged.
You do not comprehend the truth Boondock Saint is explaining.
The Internet is being destroyed in just the way he described.

Boon I was following that thread and I'm right there with ya. I don't think it got hosed for any other reason than ATS security. The administration and mods probably felt that by calling LolzSec out for who they really are would give them a reason to attack ATS plain and simple.

Now that I understand.
Still a crock to cower to others.

oh how many once trembled at the boots of the Third Reich.
Later they were hung in Nuremberg. Just a historical fact
needed mentioning.

THANK YOU. Some links and resources to back up what is being said here. That's all I was asking for. When some one makes a claim, they ought to back it up with references. Don't YOU think it is wise to know the ways of debate? Some research is in order, and I've clearly been asking for resources this entire time, so I thank you for that.

VERY GOOD thread sir. I have been thinking about this a lot lately, and it seems to me the recent hacking stories are a prelude to something big, something to make people think national security is at risk because the internet is too accessible and unfiltered and not directly controllable/manipulable by an authoritative entity. Real hackers wouldn't plan a massive internet attack for exactly this reason. What reason would they have anyway? They get their message across in more personal/direct attacks which have clear purpose and tactical results. The internet is becoming a HUGE problem for TPTB, especially with new emerging technology such as Bitcoin. They having been cooking up something big for a while now imo.
