  1. "glorifying terrorism" is so 1980's by AHuxley · · Score: 1 · on UK Government Crowd-Sourcing Censorship

    The 'freedom fighters' running up and down the English moor land playing with "blowpipes" to bring down Hinds.
    They where soooo cool back the and the SAS staff loved them long time.
    Once your in other peoples homes, riding around with explosives in local clothing and get caught, the locals tend to remember that.
    They tend to glorify that for generations, no outside help needed.
    Finding the (Force Research Unit?) pics on an Irish website is priceless (scroll down)

    With the interweb we can crowd source and glorify the British government.

  2. Re:Garda Commissioner by cobyrne · · Score: 1 · on Irish GSM Providers Asked to Track Users' Web Use

    On the one hand, the Guards have already got enough power to screw over anyone they want, and they haven't done so.

    Are you on the same island that I am? Ever hear of the McBreartys. Basically the Guards made the mistake of trying to frame a family who had the resources to fight back - God only knows how many families they use the same tactics with who don't have those resources. There was another spectacular case of Garda corruption that ruined the life of an innocent man whose name escapes me at the moment. He was only found innocent by a chance remark made in court in a different case.

    Oh, you wanted pictures, too. Okay. How about this one? The big banner says it all.



    The people who have the most to fear from this are the politicians. After all, if the FBI can snoop it, guess what will inevitably follow? One word: Net-Watergate. Your political enemies won't cave in to your demands on that anti-terrorism bill? Threaten to expose that they visited hot-young-underage-nymphos-with-bags-over-their-heads-and-bushy-underarm-hair.com on twelve separate occasions in the last year.



    Yikes.

    Or just claim they did. Remember, anything digital can be faked.

  5. Re:Maybe not censorship? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on GoDaddy Caves To Irish Legal Threat

    Seems like a bit of a Pat and Mike show according to the only other site with information on this case. Dressing this whole thing up as censorship is an exaggeration.
