I know its not just related to this issue but we need to globally enforce the internet, fast. Its becoming more and more disconnect to what we accept and defend in our society.


Yes, let's subject the internet, the last true bastion for free speech, and subject it to the same brainwashing bullshit that happens to all other forms of our media.

You DO realise that once a control on the internet is implemented, it WILL be abused. And good luck reversing it when you see the damage is done. Whoever gets the control of it, whether it's corporate or government, will hold on to dear life to ensure that control is not going anywhere.

Do you REALLY want the internet to be overlooked by ome kind of shady regulator (possibly government controlled or heavily lobbied for corporate interest) to watch people's activity, and say "Who said that? Let's make his/her life miserable because of it". Let's see the free flow of information and opinion happen after that.

You didnt get it. All the laws that "restrict" internet are already there. The same laws that apply to you every where else. Distributing others material, making death threat, frauding people, doesnt have a damn thing to do with free speech. Anyway, free speech is permitted outside the internet. (unless your country doesnt allow free speech)
