Stupid Bill To Get Upset At #543574398573465987346298263598734698

****.

To summarize, the US wants to pass a bill that tracks everything you do on the internet. That includes everything. Everything. They say it's to keep kids from watching porn, but it's really supposed to crack down on people bit-torrenting and stuff like that.

[Smouvy]

This doesn't really become news until the bill is passed methinks. Stuff like this happens every other month, these bills never get passed.

[WBud]

I think someday were gonna fall into a technocracy (lolnope)

this is just another bill brought up by one of those safety freak moms who tell their kids to wear a helmet while walking to the bus.

[Guitar]

It's crap like this that makes me want to move to another country.

[StarFox]

It best not pass... Kids find porn eventually anyway.

[DarkJinjo]

Somewhere in the world a kid just died of hunger and we're worried about them finding out about sex?

[Korra]

I was watching porn within a few weeks of getting the internet, its in our DNA because we are a sexually driven animal. We want sex, we need sex and nothing like a bill is going to stop young kids to teens from watching porn. Which, honestly is the stupidest guise I have seen since the Japanese hunting Minkey Whales for "research".

Btw, being an Australian ftw. Oh, and this will never pass.

Out of the millions upon millions of people that use the internet for hours daily and the massive amounts of logs that will pile up, you're just another person in that gigantic pile that will never be looked at.

Unless you have a child that watched porn, apparently.

[Snagprophet]

Even then, just use a proxy. Problem solved.

This so much. It's like sueing your science teacher for telling them before you do.

Admittedly, yes. Our censorship is a bit stupid but, 90% of the games banned are banned for very good reasons. The R-18 debate is finally over and we're getting the rating whether the conservatives want it or not.

In the history of history, I've yet to find a single "good reason" for censorship. Probably because there are none.

isn't it safer to assume people just didn't know what that part meant instead of claiming no one read it?
