So I just read the US Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006.
Why the hell are gamers and net users complaining about this bill? It favors them! From the looks of it, this thing is is another US legislation to keep corporate monopolies from making communication all but impossible ((Communications Act of 1934)). People, communication is what keeps us from being a tyranny. We have the right to communicate ideas, and ideas are what keeps us moving forward.
For those who don't know more than what the media has been telling us, here is a link to a copy of the bill ((Yes, for those who don't know WE CAN look up these things while they're still in the pipe. Yet another reason this bill is important in my mind.)). S. 2360 Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006
This was introduced by a senator from Oregon who is quoted in a news post on his website about his reasoning for introducing this bill. Some good stuff.
Look people, I don't care how old you are, as a US Citizen you DO HAVE RIGHTS, and even teenagers can write to their senators ((Teenagers equal voters come next election season, and Senators like their jobs.)). Yeah, the Punk Fox is politically minded. Deal.
Peace out all.
