BeeDub don't vote unless it has to do with pussy or water. I pay so little attention to politics, if I voted, it'd really just be a blind vote. Originally Posted by Brooke Wilde

Generally, speaking government on all levels doesn't step into a situation if the folks involved in that situation "police" themselves and keep the activities "under control" as far as those things that are intolerably offensive.

Once upon a time there were no speed limits/speed limit signs.

I have no idea what that is... what are those signs you speak of
?

In topic, they've been talking about censoring the Internet for yeeeeears and nothing has ever gotten out of the crib. The gift Mr Gore gave unto us all is a gift that keeps on giving (virtually speaking) and it is too big of a monster for it to be stifled... it is more political drama......

"Since the internet became a worldwide phenomenon, repressive regimes have looked for ways to censor the internet. China has what is known as the “Great Firewall of China” to keep out materials the government does not like. When there is unrest in countries, one of the first things dictators do is to shut down the Internet."

There is a more reasoned discussion above.

imo, very premature to be ultra concerned about a bill in Congress that has had so far zero hearings.

It is all about trying to get favorable press attention.

Bills must pass via committee hearings, then go to the Senate process, etc. And then survive in the federal courts as well.

Of greater concern (read the link posts) are local LE efforts in Washington state, for example, trying to use review content as evidence of criminal acts.

As we here know, the web is rather anonymous, and tying a poster on the web to a RW person requires great effort and LE must convince a judge to issue a state warrant and figure out how to compel an overseas-based entity or legal system to force compliance.

Most likely action still remains the UC officer in face to face contact with a perp, more likely a provider at first who then rolls over on clients to possibly connect hobbiests to posted reviews.

Again, imo, a lot of noise and steam designed to make the authorities look good.

But nevertheless a wakeup call for all in the hobby to be scrupulous in screening and vouching.

The only "reason" to get a search warrant would be to assure that what was obtained would be admissible into evidence AGAINST THE PERSON whose information was recovered from the resources.

Does one have an "expectation of privacy" using a McDonald's or Starbuck's WIFI system? How about the WIFI system at the Holiday Inn?

IMO a more important "wake up call" is the obligation TO PROTECT the RW personal information obtained by hobbyists and providers in their interactions and make sure they don't "retain it" on an electronic system where it can be recovered and utilized in an investigation and/or prosecution.

There are sharks in the water along the beaches of the Gulf...irrespective of what the "tourist bureau" wants people to believe. If there is any lesson from all the hackings of government and civilian computer systems in the last 10 years ... it IS ... they are NOT SECURE.

there ought to be a law.

It is all a trick to get you to submit.
Sheep.

Politics is the instrument that people use to gain control over other people via the government.
Maybe you should educate yourselves about what is going on because if you do not, you will just come further and further under the control of people that get to decide what they want you to do or not do..

It looks like this poor little feller got butt hurt because Trump won. When you and your antifa members gather to protest, do you wear a mask like the other gutless cowards?

Just do me a favor and if you decide to block a freeway, let me know and I'll open it up for NORMAL people to pass through.

Now go find yourself a safe space, find you a fine white 'ho to cuddle with, go to the local rescue shelter and get yourself a therapy dog, get a pad of blank paper and some water colors (unable to poison for your safety) get yourself to keep your mind off the real world, the world you can't handle. Stay away from pills, sharp objects, and guns. Everything is OK.

The most corrupt president in our nations history just got retired and we should all celebrate.

All kidding aside, isn't there a political forum where you can go off on your president, President Donald Trump? Perhaps that would be a better place to whine and cry rather than fouling up the Houston forums with your bullshit.

Lastly, your signature is nothing but race bait coming from a true racist.
