United States Congress is trying to censor the Internet?? o.O

Stop the Internet Blacklist!

Just the other day, President Obama urged other countries to stop censoring the Internet. But now the United States Congress is trying to censor the Internet here at home. A new bill being debated this week would have the Attorney General create an Internet blacklist of sites that US Internet providers would be required to block. (The first vote is scheduled Thursday, November 18!) This is the kind of heavy-handed censorship you'd expect from a dictatorship, where one man can decide what web sites you're not allowed to visit. But the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to pass the bill quickly -- and Senators say they haven't heard much in the way of objections! That's why we need you to sign our urgent petition to Congress demanding they oppose the Internet blacklist. <blockquote> PETITION TO THE SENATE: Censoring the Internet is something we'd expect from China or Iran, not the U.S. Senate. You need to stop this Internet blacklist in its tracks and oppose S. 3804.

some thing on the inter webs should be as easy as they are too get like streaming porn because little kids see those ceneresing some things wouldnt be too bad

SMH @ this... Indeed this is something you'd expect from other countries. Not the U.S. It's a shame that each year that passes, our government makes an attempt to violate our constitutional rights and exploit loop holes, or create loop holes to turn our democracy into a dictatorship. I have signed the petition, and I suggest all of you sign it as well, if you wish for sites like The-EN.com to remain available with our freedom of speech, we must make it publicly known that they're are millions of us who are in opposition of this blacklist internet censorship.

if internet stop working for the citizens:(my point of view)
companies will be against it since they are generating a lot of money from this, no more endless entertainment, and a better world.

I signed the petition as well. If they're worried about content being viewed on the internet by persons under the age of 18, parents should take the necessary precautions to prevent their children from viewing sites they don't want them to see. It's a huge media source that gets news/information out that can spread like wildfire within seconds. Good luck trying to black list sites. They'll have a ton on their list along with a grip of angry people they'll have to deal with who use the sites on a daily basis. Sign that petition, we're better heard in large numbers.
