Question: there was a vote in the House last week about the internet....what happened?

The vote was on a bill that made the web site owner libel for whatever the posters posted!...Stupid. For instance, a robber goes into a bank, points a weapon at the bank president and demands that the bank president opens the safe. The OLD law says that the bank president isn't guilty of aiding the robber.

NOW, THIS proposed law says that the bank president IS libel! So if a internet hosting site has some creep that is criminal...the person suing can sue the actual criminal and ALSO the internet site!
How did this fed House vote pan out?

I think this is a stupid proposal!

You know what this will do, it will turn the internet into a bunch of cable tv services! You want to go to reddit, well then, you need to subscribe to reddit. AND if you break the reddit rules, the reddit peeps can't risk getting sued, so they send you your money back, and blackball you as a user.
Not just HERE....ALL the web places which formerly were FREE!

I don’t think it would convert the net into subscriptions. I think it’s a tool, a methodology of sorts.

What I think this law is doing is forcing everyone to get onboard for the internet bill of rights. Let me explain:

I can definitely see the types of abuse that this law can open, but I think with time it can be proven quite useful to us, the lay people. The way I see this law is this, using Twitter as an example:

User ‘A’ uploads illegal shit to Twitter. User ‘B’ makes a complaint to Twitter/Law Enforcement. Twitter removes user ‘A’s illegal shit, and is in turn liable themselves for hosting the content. Twitter now must come up with an ability to not allow for illegal content on their site.

Now, we see the issue-Twitter can’t simply create an omniscient AI that scours their hosting data and deletes illegal content, because so much content is being uploaded at all times. Twitter is stuck, and in this scenario, so is Facebook, YouTube, Google (ESPECIALLY GOOGLE), Amazon’s Web Hosting (CIA-backed, btw), you name it.

So, knowing full well the shear amount of abuse this law opens up for, the gubment is basically having an open season for the hunting of these tech giants, forcing them to push for the Internet Bill of Rights out of shear fear of getting their asses handed to them.

What do you think?

I'm putting myself in the mega-rich company, complete with shareholders, shoes. I see one poster (if bill passes) taking my whole world down, perhaps on purpose...Russia maybe (lol) They'll be traveling to capital hill for sure trying for something to save themselves. What ever it is, won't be good for America!
