Canadian MP Calls For ISP Licenses, Content Blocks

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fun-time-over dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A member of Canada's ruling Conservative party has pledged to "clean up" the Internet with new bill that would mandate ISP licensing, know-your-subscriber rules, and allow the government to order ISPs to block content. ISPs that fail to block would faces possible jail time for the company's directors and officers."

    I've decided that the freak that posts this is actually a Mac hater and is trying to promote Microsoft by making everyone think Mac user are elitist assholes. I could have believed the first one I saw was actually just a dumbass. The second time... Well, a persistent dumbass.

    But to post this very same post on each and every single Slashdot posting... That takes someone dedicated to a cause. And since the person wasn't born with a Mac, there was a time when they didn't know all the things in the list. Any idiot could think their way through that.

    So it's got to be someone trying to make Macs look bad by pretending to be a Mac troll. And just for kicks:

    ATTN: TROLLEURS

    If you routinely get modded -1 Troll, GTFO.
    If you have nothing to say worth reading, GTFO.
    If you post the same exact post over and over, GTFO.
    If you can't be part of a community and interact with others like a civilized human being, GTFO.

    Trolls are not welcome among real Slashdot reader. Keep your filthy, troll fingers to yourself.

    I think it needs some work, but it's not bad. ;)

    At least they can spell. Licences, as in the title of this thread, is spelt with a C. It's the noun form, not the verb.

    Have these Slashdot editors not been to school?
