Yeah, I'm just glad I have overseas options if shyt ever gets ridiculous over here. Whoever did it, has done a masterful job of making our population this docile and agreeable. Plus to be honest, I'm sure the big tech companies sold out net neutrality too.

government couldn't handle something being unregulated.

Government is not the enemy. It's the people that own the government.

Game Of Thrones is real. Lords and high born still exist only they no longer sit on iron thrones. Now they pull strings from the shadows.

Countries are just corporations now.

‘Kill switch’ smartphone bill dead on arrival in California Senate

California lawmakers voted down a bill this week that would have forced cell phone manufacturers to pre-install a “kill switch” on every phone sold in the state, an initiative supporters deemed an obvious attempt to curb smartphone and identity theft.

The Senate bill was sponsored by Sen. Mark Leno, a Democrat representing San Francisco, but only received a 19-17 vote in favor Thursday, failing to reach the necessary 21 votes. It would have forced all of the major smartphone developers to include a switch in the phone that would render it inoperable if it was reported stolen.

You might be interested in this old lecture by the late Oxford professor of Social and Political Theory and Marxist G.E. Cohen. It's one of the most direct and systematic expositions of socialist ideas I've ever encountered:



@Broke Wave , this may clear up some things as well.

At the end of the day, these bytch ass governments can't control the fukkin' internet. No matter what the fukk they do, we're gonna find a way around everything. It's not going to work.

I wish that were true, but the internet is the government's baby, not the people's. You take it a piece at a time, until people become used to the control. It is very easy for governments to control the internet, and the general public not care as long as they get their porn, their consumer goods and their soaps (gossip, news or both). There will always be wildcatters, but it'll be like radio, newsprint and television.

Is that kill switch anything like Absolute Software's LoJack pre-installed on your BIOS? Good luck getting rid of it, if you want to get rid of it. Does LoJack For Laptops Work? - Forbes (from 2005 - when you had to buy it separately if you wanted it. You don't have to buy it anymore, though :shaq:)

It looks like 'kill switches' and its cousin 'stolen property recovery' are just the IT version of 'what about the children?'. I want there to be choice. Pre-installation isn't choice. I don't want a kill switch installed on anything which law enforcement has more access to than I do. :yeshrug: That's just me.

you think google fiber won't come through and crush the buildings of these corrupt ISP's tho?

I don't like saying this, but Google is part of the machine. Google is not fighting 'for the Users', it's fighting for its own profitability and for its own version of primary control. If the first intersects with the second, great; but don't be fooled about the bottom line.

It's soooooooo demonic friends.

In case the phone is reported stolen....:sas2:

You mean, in case law enforcement and federal agencies want the phone shut off....:sas1:
it's crazy the angle they come from. they got this sh1t all planned out and the angle they come from most ppl don't see it. 5 yrs into it you're like how did we lose freedom? looking back it began with something they just introduced with a name that appeals to you like net neutrality or add "terrorist" into it.
they know how to get ppl. in fact all they gotta do is get BUY our representatives who don't know anything tech and love money anyway. most ppl don't follow politics anyway cause there's many of this sh1t passed weekly. and they pass this sh1t when there's distractions on tv.

Reddit cofounder launches $20,000 campaign to 'save net neutrality'

Reddit cofounder launches $20,000 campaign to 'save net neutrality'

By Fernando Alfonso III on April 29, 2014Email

Reddit cofounder and Internet rights champion Alexis Ohanian is brandishing his sword once more, this time against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Ohanian is raising $20,000 on Crowdtilt for a billboard advertisement outside the FCC’s Washington, D.C. offices to protest against a forthcoming net neutrality proposal that critics say could raise Internet prices and, according to Ohanian, enable “discrimination across services that make use of the net, and makes it harder to access the stuff that we access each day today (from video streaming to file saving and sharing).”

On May 15, the FCC will decide whether to reinstate net neutralityregulations that will allow Internet service providers, like Comcast, to charge Internet-based companies, like Netflix, for a so-called broadband "fast lane" to better reach customers. While these fast lanes already exist in some instances, critics believe the FCC's proposal could lead to widespread discrimination, degradated service, and potentially outright censorship online.

Net neutrality has a variety of definitions, but generally centers on the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally, without discrimination or special treatment for particular types of data.

So far, Ohanian has raised more than $9,000 of his $20,000 goal, with 16 days left to go. Ohanian says that if the CrowdTilt campaign exceeds $20,000 in donations, the money would be used to buy ads in the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Ohanian placed advertisements in both newspapers in 2012, when he rallied hundreds of Web properties—including Wikipedia and Craigslist—to protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), two pieces of legislation that threatened Internet freedom.

The 2012 protest resulted in both pieces of legislations being pulled from the congressional agenda.

Thread should be in neon lights and shiit ...... this shiit will ruin the internet experience/freedom of going where you like (minus :sitdown:) ......... the ability to just learn and share and explore at an instant will be diminished by whether or not what you are searching for has paid up to a company to get on a "fast lane".....

Turning the boundlessness of the internet into cable television ..... :wtf:

Unnecessary and bloated and disgusting .....
