I believe in freedom. I believe in freedom of communication. It is widely held that mankind got basic rights. For the most part, those basic rights that are represented in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution and copied by institutions around the world. Of those rights, two of those who I feel is most important, are the freedom of speech and the freedom to privacy. Both of these rights are the freedoms of communication and I believe strongly in those rights.

US government rights less available?

I definitively do. The Internet has been a societal revolution. The reason why the Internet has been a societal revolution is that is has changed the way fundamentally that we as a world-wide society communicate. Many people feel that the Internet is a free information communication medium, when in fact is not. The Internet as we know it today is controlled by the United States Government. And I am opposed to this.

How do they control?

The United States Government through its contracts and programs controls everything from IP address allocations to who has overriding authority over the domain name space. In addition they govern the way Tier 1 providers can do business. Ultimately this translates into total control of the Internet.

The two don't seem mutually exclusive.

Establishing rules and big brother.

Don't seem like the same thing to me.

However it would seem that america is establishing rules over something they do not have jurisdiction.

That comment annoys me ... you haven't declared your true identity. I'm taking you to court. This law is GREAT.

And you would lose in court.

How does America not have jurisdiction? Sure not over users from other countries they wouldn't be able to prosecute at all...but for American users. I don't get it.

does this mean i cant insult americans, i cant read the link, my pc is ****...

Yeah but I can still ban you.

Just kidding.

:D heh, ill get myself banned sooner or later. you wait and see.
