Just saw that on nightly news.

 

It really is stupid to censor the internet, its just like tv put child locks on it if your children shouldnt see it, its simple but people who are too lazy to do something about it have to go to the extreme just to make it super easy on themselves

 

Hi Keane,
My tired mind missed your thread this morning on your topic of Internet Protest. Thanks for your thread on this important topic...I was going to delete my thread, but then I thought the more information on this topic the better.

Thanks for all your contributions to the MCF 4-Sure
I sure hope the protest works & that the bill does not pass.
It will sure effect our internet freedoms & sources 4-Sure...

 

I don't understand why something that we pay for can be censored. I never understood it from the start.

MAYBE if internet was free and given to us, but it's not. That would be like censoring extra pay channels on television.

 

Note: The White House just announced that it would veto the bill if passed 1/18/12

 

That's very good news!

 

The do-gooders are at it again. I agree with Mike If I'm footing the bill I can see whatever I choose to look at.

 

exactly, some one needs to get that president out of the office now, he is just destroying this nation to me

 

Exactly, its something we pay for so we should be able to view whatever we want. Most of the country is against the bill, yet they insist it must be passed. If it does we're just going to loose tons of websites that are part of the internet and americas "freedom" will be no more, atleast on the internet. Anyone seen wikipedia today?
