This is winning a battle, not a war. There is going to be more legislation, both in the US, and the World.
The internet is unique in that what makes it powerful is it's interconnectedness. It doesn't make sense for some nodes to have different rules than others. I believe the internet needs it's own bill of rights, but it should be presented in an international forum.
It's probably a pipe dream, but the idea of the US being able to take down international nodes by any method is devastating to me.
- bittermang 15y agoExactly. We haven't won anything and treating it as a victory is dangerous. It turns us in to a boy cried wolf after we tell everybody it's OK to go home and put the pitchforks down. Only to start up the hysterics again the next time we face down dire straits. We have the momentum, we have people's attention, we need to keep pushing. Keep organizing. Keep educating. We need to get our lobbying groups in to Washington and start influencing some legislation that works for The Internet. Not against it.
