It sounds like they are bypassing congress and violating a Court Order.

From what I see it is dealing with Mobile Carriers for now

Sorry but I'm not naive enough to trust government when it comes to the internet, I'm expecting it to be used to target free speech.

Can't say that I'm surprised. They've been regulating TV forever, so it doesn't seem to surprising that they would try the same thing with the internet.

They have been pushing this for about 2 years now, and it seems they have finally gotten around to it. The excuse 2 years ago to beat the drum was a rise in cyberterrorism, and now WikiLeaks has given them their excuse. All you have to do to push any agenda is to create mass hysteria, not unlike the bullying situation and swine flu.

"The internet confuses me but I'm prepared for this, I'm assuming every human is a cyber-terrorist!"

The FCC can suck my nuts. Hopefully they'll never be able to regulate this post hahaha

I'm telling my mommy! Then my mommy will tell the FCC and you will be in big trouble!

Yeah, they regulated television and radio so well that they took a nationwide Mom and Pop industry of virtually 100% locally owned businesses and made them all vulnerable to corporate raiders, who bought them all up, consolidated them, used PCs to automate them and put thousands of professionals across the US out of work. The few who still can get jobs have to work part-time, at 7 dollars an hour, so the corporate suits don't have to offer them insurance. Thanks, Unca Sam. Nice regulatin'.
