I think his point was that since the government creates laws, and companies could deal with other companies that broke those laws, the government could destroy any corporation it wanted, at any time.
Not that it can't do so now, but it's a lot harder to blind the public about it, and it would take quite a bit longer. With this law, it would be an overnight thing.
- corin_ 16y agoThis law is terrible, yes, but the issue is with this law, not with the fact that the government "dictates what is considered illegal".
- madmaze 16y agoI understand the government always dictates what is considered legal/illegal, maybe I used the wrong wording. But My issue is that if they have the power to regulate the internet and what the internet displays, they have the ability to censor what every they like. If kept unmonitored this could threaten freedom of speech and press.
- corin_ 16y agoIn that case apologies for misunderstanding, I read your comment as one of those generic pointless fuck the man comments that are normally written by 14 year olds. "Government making laws? WE'RE IN CHINA!" Understood now :)
