Welp, SOPA's gonna pass

Didn't Obama say he would veto the **** out of it if it passes?

Which I can't see it doing. It's a violation of our first amendment rights, even if it did get through the House & the Senate, people would throw shitfits (and rightfully so). Because we live in a "democracy," the government cannot ignore that without serious consequences.

I don't think it will pass.

 

I had the stream on for a while and it sounds like they're having a lot of trouble getting through the amendments. It definitely sounds like it's meeting with resistance, but I don't know if the actual thing has already been passed and they're at the nitpicking phase? Honestly I know embarrassingly little about these procedures I would love it if someone could fill me in

 

I don't think so either

And yes, he did state he'd veto it

I believe it's not passed yet, it's still being debated against since there are a lot of people going against it. And I think it has to go through another process of it being edited if passed

and most likely veto'd

 

Bleh, I don't like repeating myself.

It will not pass.
Even if it did, it would have NO impact on you. Moving to another server is easy.

It doesn't matter if it has no impact on you
The point is if you're American then there is currently a law being passed that violates your constitution
You know, the thing that your country was founded on?
How is this NOT a problem?

 

I don't know the exact parameters of the bill but even if the servers moved to a different country, the government still could filter search results & domain names, could they not?
That's obviously a lot easier to get around than the entire server being taken down, of course, but for the average person, perhaps not.

 

I believe the original plan was a filter, similar to that of The Great Firewall of China.

 

it's funny because NDAA is also getting passed and all we can talk about is omg what about my internets

 

They seem to go hand in hand, don't they? An ability to indefinitely imprison people before they commit a crime and an ability to censor news.​

 

I heard about that. The new provisions, rather. I heard about them in a highly blown-out-of-proportion way: "America can officially imprison you for no reason, pack your bags and hop the borders" etc. But yeah, that is definitely disconcerting as well, and I believe it is generating outcry of its own.

 

They can? The implications should be very obvious if you listen to Obama speak about it. He is instating pre-crime, says that we need to be able to detain people without trial on the basis that they may commit a crime in the future.​

 

America is going crazy!

Time to move to Argentina with Machi ~

 

I am hesitant to believe this unless it's documented. And even in that case, wording like that is gonna get him in deep shit. This isn't freaking Minority Report.

I will go to Canadaland to chill with my posh bro What

 

Funny you should mention that...

I've got two different things telling me this site is hosted in the US.

 

The company is based in Canada, the actual server is located in the US?

What then?​

 

Statistics are fun.

Also, fail bill is fail.
