There's a creepy trend going on in the world and it's always been around, but it's gaining steam - the restriction of information. Make it illegal to talk about or simply ignore it becomes the standard. "These aren't the droids you're looking for" as they speak to the world.
- coldpie 14y agoI disagree. I think we are trending in the opposite direction, and these kinds of bills are the "bad guys" fighting back against that progress. The Internet and computing generally have really opened the flood gates on freedom of information. We have to fight to keep making progress, but I honestly believe we're trending forward on this. It's easy to draw an analogy to another fight dear to me, gay rights in the United States. 40 years ago, there were no anti-gay constitutional amendments. Today we're seeing many states pass anti-gay constitutional amendments. Is that because we're going backwards on gay rights, or because the "bad guys" are fighting progress? I think it's clearly the latter. Don't get discouraged by losing a battle when you're winning the war :) Keep up the fight.
