Senators Call for Universal Internet Filtering
An Anonymous Coward writes "US senators today made a bipartisan call for the universal implementation of filtering and monitoring technologies on the Internet in order to protect children. Their statement came at the end of a Senate hearing in which civil liberties groups were not invited."
The court's been packed with more fascists since then. I wouldn't rely on the Supreme Court "Justices" that gutted the Fourth Amendment (your papers, please) to uphold the First.
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
So write safe code instead of goo gooing and gaa gaaing in your little interpreter sandbox hoping the java nanny will protect you.
Civil liberties groups weren't invited. Boo hoo. I wasn't invited either. Maybe they need to lookup the meaning of the word "invited". If you need an invitation to go someplace, you aren't "entitled" to go.
No one elected these "civil liberties groups". They aren't owed any special input on policy. They should get the same input as the rest of us get.
(The Senate should stop being so extremely stupid though. It's been chock full of fools for as long as I can remember. Why do people keep voting those old fossils back there?)
I looked at his website. Sounds like the same stuff all the other republicans are saying. How is he any different?

That's why I tell them, "Your government hates you, almost as much as they hate the rest of us."
