Sigh. It's sad that not a week goes by without having to defend internet freedom. ACTA, SOPA, PIPA, and now this retardation. Everyone expects this kind of crap from third world countries run by iron-fisted dictators or nutty religious strongholds. Not from countries that were once thought to be cilivised.
It's sicking that we always seem to be on the defending side here. Seems unfair, too. Is there no way that we can put a stop to this sort of BS for good?
- why-el 15y ago+1. I think whats happening now is that people in the third world (Arab countries for instance) are fighting to gain rights they never had, and citizens of the developed world are fighting not to lose rights they already won. In any case the good thing is that there is a fight.
- ontIgnoreRealit 15y agoNo. If you look at history everything we consider civilized have been a result of an effort or a struggle by the people that came before us. Expecting the war against bullshit to end any time soon is naive. Civilization will always be on the defensive because the owners want more for themselves and less for everyone else.
