Unfortunately, there is no government with the moral credibility to speak up.
Iran's censorship is direct, autocratic and politically motivated
US' censorship is indirect, 'democratic' and commercially motivated.
Dear US goverment, please rethink your decision. Your might and support in the world comes not from your military strength but your perceived moral credibility and being seen as the standard. The right standard.
Do not change it.
PS: Has WSJ written anything against SOPA?
- nextparadigms 15y agoI'm starting to think the indirect, commercial approach is actually worse, because it's so misleading ("we'll save millions of jobs!"). The US Government couldn't have convinced so many countries to start restricting their Internet. It's "thanks" to MPAA and RIAA that they are doing it.
