COICA: US/World Internet Blacklist - Discussion
coolzeldad:
oo that quote is what I said
If I didn't note a source under, should assume it's from me.
But what I was trying to illustrate, is that the bill's jurisdiction would allow the appointed to take any site off the internet, or cripple it.
So this pertains not only to the US, but all the countries that don't realize how far the US is integrated into their own.
As for passing, it still has a chance. And to sit around and let something this destructive walk through on dirty money and closed lips would be horrendous.

YESS IT GOT DENIED ;D
I just got the email about 3 hours ago :D
--- Quote ---james -- big news! Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to send the Internet blacklist bill to the full Senate, but it was quickly stopped by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) who denounced it as "a bunker-buster cluster bomb" aimed at the Internet and pledged to "do everything I can to take the necessary steps to stop it from passing the U.S. Senate."
Wyden's opposition practically guarantees the bill is dead this year -- and next year the new Congress will have to reintroduce the bill and start all over again. But even that might not happen: Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Hollywood's own senator, told the committee that even she was uncomfortable with the Internet censorship portion of the bill and hoped it could be removed when they took it up again next year!
This is incredible -- and all thanks to you. Just a month ago, the Senate was planning to pass this bill unanimously; now even the senator from Hollywood is backing away from it. But this fight is far from over -- next year, there's going to be hearings, negotiations, and even more crucial votes. We need to be there, continuing to fight.
Can you chip in a couple bucks so we can keep our lobbyist in DC?
We're doing everything we can: working with key staffers to remove the most egregious parts of the bill, lobbying more members of Congress to speak out against this bill, and insisting on hearings so the whole Senate can learn about how dangerous this is. And, of course, we'll keep working with you to make sure more people hear about this bill and tell their senators.
Keep on fighting,
-- Aaron Swartz, David Segal, and the Demand Progress team
