You Can Help Stop These Bad Internet Bills
www.eff.org
Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation.

    It’s complete BS that they can group different bills together. Each should be voted on its own merit, and not as a part of a grouping. Such abuse.

      It’s probably cuz they keep losing and aren’t able to convince enough people so of they group it altogether with another bill they can try to pass this without anyone knowing while trying to say they’re protecting us but taking away so much more. I just can’t believe they keep trying this and more and more people are starting to agree cuz the whole “I have nothing to hide so what does it matter” argument.

        I just don’t understand how this is legal. But, to be fair, a lot of should-be-illegal things are legal in this country. I don’t know why I’m surprised. We’re free, as long as we fall into a specific category of people.

          We’re free to do whatever we want as long as it’s what they want. Reminds of the Henry Ford saying you can have any color you want as long as it’s black or something like that.

            I love that quote. Yup, as long as it plays into their desires for us, then we can do whatever we want. Freedoms without freedom.

              The sad truth let’s hope we can keep fighting back and maybe one day we can get some younger people in there that actually care about the people and privacy.

                Agreed. The issue seems to be, that those younger people you’re talking about, are being politically (sometimes physically) massacred before they have a chance to make an impact.

                  Ya that’s true take em out young before they can make an impact probably why our public education system is shite too. Pretty much training us to work some 9 to 5 and sit and produce rather than be creative and think outside the box. Only when you have money and status can you actually learn something that helps you figure out the world and how it runs.
