If there was Internet Freedom bills proposed, there would be discussion on Internet Freedom instead of these discussions of compromise and feasibility for the anti-Internet activists. This appears to be a stalling tactic to more anti-Intern

I believe they have already allowed restricted donations for years, yet discourage it due to overhead. They can not retake restricted donations and give it to a worthy cause. They can only use it as specified or refund it.

My concern was mostly due to this statement: "This is something we looked at and thought we could make some narrow and relatively easy changes to our Autocomplete algorithm that could make a positive difference, Cano added." They believe in

Wow, I didn't see this before. I can understand filtering certain terms for court requests, but voluntarily? It looks like Google is attacking distribution methods of content with such broad filtering. Probably to make compromises with the

That would be a restriction of freedom of speech and Internet Freedom for blacklisting magnet urls. Linux Distro excuse comes to mind. A cynical person might say that the intent would also further kill free content creators, restricting the

If a company abuses DMCA, they are liable for perjury. The police prosecutor is meant to charge them. However, that hasn't happened. Alternatively, if a person suffered monetary damages (current and future), they can sue the abuser for dama

The government has seen SOPA, DMCA, PROTECT-IP, COICA, CEST, OPENA, ACTA and more. The anti-Internet groups are already giving government and corporations the power to control the Internet since 00s. I guess you could say that they are beyo

An example Internet Domain Freedom bill (opposite of SOPA) should counter this in making it illegal to take down the domain without judgement, so it would be excepted from seizures until after due process. At the moment, they can initially

Wouldn't there be lawsuits against Google when content is taken down to comply with SOPA and other anti-Internet bills? Not to mention extra costs in complying, both in reputation loss and revenue. I believe they will run it by the legal te

Not about the other anti-Internet attempts. I hope that the Internet Freedom message is displayed broadly alongside support for the SOPA protest movement.

We're a sophisticated audience though; the audience here will read more into it. The audience of Reddit, Facebook, Google, etc, are unlikely and may get overwhelmed.

If this ruins the ability of almost a billion children to freely access knowledge and to express themselves in the future, then I hope the cost is worth it, congressperson. Speaking of, I wonder how many children there are in the world.

pg, if you're going to blackout, could you try advocating Internet Freedom alongside going dark against the SOPA as a way to show HN wishing to have Internet Freedom to do business? It would also show that there's a technologically advanced

To your point about increased government regulation; I had that discussion with someone before regarding keeping government out of Internet. I put it simply as: "If they won't stop outlawing/controlling parts of the Internet, then we need t

It's impractical to fight terrorism in taking down domains. Analogy: It's like bombing a town because one house is harbouring terrorists. Domain analogy: It's like taking down youtube.com because one channel is harbouring terrorist videos.

Oh no, please stop focusing only on SOPA or lesser part of Protect IP! Those two are just two battles by anti-Internet groups. They tried one tactic with SOPA to fool people in thinking it was delayed until next year: http://www.reddit.com

The government can subsidise certain electronics aimed at blocking criminal content. The only thing people can be aware of are less choices as companies exit due to uncompetitive conditions. In Australia, the mandatory Internet Filter faile

The article is about OS-level backdoors, not software-level backdoors. The aforementioned software wouldn't do anything against keyloggers on the phone. I think the software you're hoping for is jailbreaking the phone. But some governments

Internet censorship is now alive in Australia since June-ish 2011. Most of the biggest ISPs voluntarily adopted Interpol list. And made it mandatory for their customers (I left). Seems odd that they would risk being censorship companies, bu
