U.S. Congress is getting ready to pass an internet censorship law

We'll just have to see how this rolls out.

Remember when the internet was fun? Good times.

Congress and all the politicians who vote for this can burn in hell for all I care. I hate our government more than ever now.

I mean, the intent is definitely nobil. I think that there's definitely a disconnect between what the lawmakers expect to happen with this and what would really happen, though

Why does the government have to intervene at all? Why do they think that they should babysit every little aspect of our lives, what happened to personal responsibility? Is that too much to ask for people? Government isn't for the people, they only do what they do
to line their own pockets with gold. Like the offender registry system, it doesn't help the offenders make life changes for the better and right their wrongs, it only makes money for lawmakers. I would hate to see sites like this get affected for the actions of a few morons. I've rarely seen things passed by Congress that truly helps the people, I could be wrong though, and that's fine.

Another the sky is falling topic. No temp is not going away if someone trolls the site with sex trafficking. Geez chill out guys.

Thank you. Just like all of the other sky is falling internet law change posts throughout the years.

These guys understood that the immense majority of internet white knights have no power other than generate clickbait titles on social networks.

White knight/SJWs are nothing but attention seeking pinheads

First Net Neutrality, now this?



I thought Temp was based in France.

But it's available in the U.S.

Who's to say this site won't get blocked or otherwise affected though?

Well atleast ajit pai is under investigation now.

 

[VinsCool]

It wasn't being censored (a bit, maybe less) already?

I'm not sure, either way, government shouldn't be sticking its nose in others' business IMO

Well atleast ajit pai is under investigation now.

But, wait, there's more!

This week, Senators Hatch, Graham, Coons, and Whitehouse introduced a bill that diminishes the data privacy of people around the world.
The Clarifying Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act expands American and foreign law enforcement’s ability to target and access people’s data across international borders in two ways. First, the bill creates an explicit provision for U.S. law enforcement (from a local police department to federal agents in Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to access “the contents of a wire or electronic communication and any record or other information” about a person regardless of where they live or where that information is located on the globe. In other words, U.S. police could compel a service provider—like Google, Facebook, or Snapchat—to hand over a user’s content and metadata, even if it is stored in a foreign country, without following that foreign country’s privacy laws.

That's some pretty bullshit right there boy.
America really is becoming great again. /s

Talk about overreacting.

Talk about overreacting.

How is this a good thing? Any and all politicians that support the invasion of privacy, our rights, etc, don't deserve our support and should be forced out of office. They can suck it.

CLOUD? Well, in my opinion, what CLOUD suggests has already been happening, but just now is the government telling us about it, like we're oblivious.

In case that anything DOES happen to GBAtemp, it'll eventually be back up again, probably on the dark web.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Seriously. C'mom people. Do you honestly believe that if someone trolled temp with human trafficking posts, that they wouldn't be able to tell that it was a troll attempt and that GBAtemp isn't a human trafficking site? LMFAO. C'MON!!! BRAINS!!

Do you really think they care? It gives the government more illegal power, and they can wield it however they want.

Or, do you believe the government will come to their senses and "do the right thing", like how the EU didn't surpress a study stating that piracy actually doesn't effect sales, nor force countries to follow the will of the Union regardless of what the citizens actually want?
