am i the only person in this country who doesnt think the government is trying to turn our internet into the chinese model? why would they want to do that? it makes no sense. the people on the hill are well aware of the fact that the internet is integral in american life these days from our everyday tasks to managing our economy. they dont want to shut down facebook or twitter, believe me.
all they are trying to do is enforce laws and curb illegal activity. you all HAVE to know that when you are downloading something off of a torrent or piratebay or whatever that its ILLEGAL. you are all smart enough to know that. remember when you all panicked when they shut down napster and limewire? yea, you know you are stealing. all the government is trying to do is trying to find a way to enforce copyright and IPR laws online. No, the bills are far from perfect. they are often illogical and impractical, and they are not well worded or specific. the specificity of some sentences are what are causing people to panic that we are turning into china because they believe that facebook falls under the definition of a website that will be shut down. yes, congress should go back and rewrite the bill so it doesnt have loopholes like this and uses more practical ways of enforcing that makes it so google doesnt have to spend millions on scrubbing its search results. i feel it should just target the specific website and not the search engine that brings everything up. if anything, the government should welcome google showing results of pirated material so they get an idea of how well the new laws are working and how people are still finding ways around them.
people of america, we are not turning into china, stop panicking already. congress is simply trying to enforce laws and stop illegal activity. isnt that what a government is supposed to do? isnt that what you want tthem to do?
so please, get off their backs, and stop blindly making claims that these bills somehow censor our internet like china when no where in the bill does it say that it will. read for once and dont always buy into the hype you see on facebook and twitter. there are a lot of stupid people on the internet that want to spin this in the completely wrong direction. pirated material is illegal, you know that, so stop complaining.
