Wrong. That bill was tailored to child porn: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bi...
It's so funny to see how easy it is for you to believe anything that Alex Jones wants you to believe.
Comment boards for specific articles are extremely popular and also notoriously hard to moderate. Popular articles often receive comments that run into the thousands over the course of time. In many cases, individuals hostile to the writer's argument deliberately leave obscene comments and images simply to sully the reputation of the website owners. Therefore under the terms of this bill, right-wing extremists from a website like Free Republic could effectively terminate a liberal leaning website like Raw Story by the act of posting a single photograph of a naked child. This precedent could be the kiss of death for blogs as we know them and its reverberations would negatively impact the entire Internet.
Under the banner of saving the children from sexual predators, McCain is obviously on a mission to stamp out the influence of the burgeoning blogosphere and its increasing hostility to the warmongering agenda that he fronts for."
If you haven't noticed yet, fighting child pornography is the cover for fighting free speech on the web. Racism was the cover for fighting hemp and the moral do-gooders helped bring about prohibition as well. Don't you understand? You can't deny the fact that allowing the government the means to censor ANY content gives them the ability to censor whatever they want.
I also don't understand what makes you think I'm easily convinced of anything. Why do you have this obsession that I'm under some kind of mind control? YOU'RE the one that keeps bringing up Alex Jones. YOU have the obsession with him, not me.
