Some of the worst pedophiles and child sexual abusers come out of D.C. I love how these people continue to cloak themselves in morality, and try to pass their agendas as concern about children.

I'm ready whenever you guys are

Well, the line in the sand didn't happen when they started touching people in the airports.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah this guy just does'nt give up, i hope he losses his next election but from what iv'e seen with the jerry rigging the election districts i would'nt hold out much hope.

When they put the SOPA in cold storage, I suspected they will come out with something cleverer than that.

This bill should be correctly titled "Ending of Internet Anonymity Act", because that is what intends to achieve. So far the technology to end internet anonymity existed, but there was no legal mechanism to force the ISPs to collect and provide that information to law enforcement upon demand.

But this should not be difficult to beat for those bent on doing it. You can purchase a VPN subscription from a proxy provider in a different country. All your ISP can record will be the fact that you are connected to the proxy in a different country. Your activity may be recorded by the proxy provider in the other country, but would not be readily available to the law enforcement in your country.

Well, they just need to call it "Sopa 2.0" and do the same protest/campaign.

Politicians have always used children to pass laws, especially when it comes to sex.

You know what the best way to protect children from material they are too young to be accessing is - PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. Stop giving your children smartphones, laptops, tablets and games consoles and giving them free reign to do whatever the heck they want with them, alone and unsupervised, just because it shuts them up and makes your life easier.

Parents are responsible for their children's actions, not the state.

damn these sob's ....so now if your against this bill your for child porn and I'd wager this wont even stop and slow the distribution of child porn . This I fear will pass .

I find it interesting. Right now the internet if used properly (I mean that in a very loose sense of the word) by the government, could be a useful tool. By that I mean, if I was the government and was worried about terrorism, civil war, any anti-government protesting, opinion, etc....why would I restrict what the people are saying on the internet, if it could help warn me and give me knowledge of such events??

Why?

Because of fear. The ability of the people to also use the internet as a tool to figure out just exactly what the government is up to and hiding. Fearing the ability of the people to communicate and organize evidence and events to a situation with ease.

The government doesn't want to protect the children. They want to use the children to hide their dirty secrets and prevent you and me from discovering the truth, globally communicating the truth, and organizing the end to their ridiculousness.

That's why

All due respect, the State is seizing the rights of parents more and more. That doesn't excuse lack of oversight, but parents can no longer actively control their children's behavior without govt interference. And guess what, Hillary's "It takes A Village" will take on a whole new meaning as the UN implementations on "Rights of the Child" begin to filter down to the cities.
Observe how many of the laws the cities and local governments are making reflect the views and models of UN Agenda 21. All that nonsense about sustainability comes out of that document.

How dare these people allow SIECUS and Planned Parenthood put sexually explicit material in front of the children in the public schools without parental permission and then make laws tracking everyone's movement on the Internet in the name of catching predators.

Paedophilia isn't something that was born and spread through the Internet. It's a deprevated psychopaty that was LEGAL and COMMON PRATICE in the middle ages in royal families throughout Europe (the centre of the world back then). 30/40 years-old marrying and inpregnating 12/13/14 year-olds; preteens conceived and raised SPECIFICALLY for that purpouse.

And before that, there are reports of child paedophilia and pornographic experiences involving adults and minors from the Roman Empire.

Still today, do you think catholic priests raped little children thanks to the Internet? No. They were the local priests, that everyone trusts, the greatest social well-doers in the communities...

Conclusion: the sickest paedophiles aren't the ones surfing online. Those are just sick people, but rarely arm anyone. The real monsters are amongst us, with a stable professional life, probably with an established family, and probably interact with our children on a daily basis (teachers, priests, doctors, lawyers, hedge-funders, accountants, etc, respectable professions), and we don't have a F'in clue about it.

This is just another scapegoat to push through legislation that restricts people's individual rights and liberties. A mere PR move. Just like the american Patriot Act after 9/11.

Although you are partially right, it started WAY before dark age europe or even the roman empire...
