Congress voted to censor the internet
Categories: PokerI couldn’t say it any better than Chilly (After this, the entire post is his; nothing has been modified):
“The House passed legislation Tuesday that would prevent gamblers from using credit cards to bet online and could block access to gambling Web sites.”
That’s right. The house wants ISP’s to block access to certain URLs. Heil Goodlatte! Heil Leach! God save the constitution. Thank you Representatives of Congress for once again saving me from myself. Without you as my moral compass I may not be able to survive.
And thank you for raising the cost of my internet service by turing my ISP into police. And thank you for raising the cost of my banking accounts by making them police, report and stop my transactions that may or may not be legitimate, but could have to do with placing a $2 double down on a 9 vs. a dealer 7.
Outlaw online gaming, go right ahead. But to block access to websites? Isn’t that what we got up in China’s face for a while back? Did you know that if you type the word gambling into Google it might lead to gaming sites? They have that google cache thing. Better block access to that too.
More tilt. Fuckers. Really, unfunded mandates and censorship? This is the republican party? Its bad enough that my work is monitoring IMs now, but Jim Leach doesn’t want me to check raise a fish who can’t lay down his KK? And that justifies censorship? CENSORSHIP. That’s what it is. The US governement wants to censor the internet.
