If they publish the list of flagged sites, we might actually find something worth reading. At this rate, the "approved" content on the 'net will be MN's coverage of Kardashian plastic surgery, and the Daily Mail fawning over gong distribution.
"Superphone" Windows means what? Rocket-powered turd?
The metro UI is clueless. Clearly it was designed by people who never really "got" touch. Why is 20% of the high-resolution screen always occupied by useless black sliding bar?
"We in Israel really MUST insist that you Americans institute a censorship regime!"
That has to be the single most amusing phrase ever to appear unironically in the Paper of Record: Twitter terrorism. And, of course, the authority cited for this menacing trend is that ubiquitous sham community calling itself âoeterrorism experts,â
How's that "secret assassination" and drone-thing working out for your "left of avowed socialist" types? But you're so brainwashed, you think gays in the military is a progressive cause - equal to abolishing slavery. Get a clue! It is never in human interest to support military membership by any one.
Really trust me on this - the label on the can bears little relation to actual contents.
You can not institute the reform of a Republic, by instituting the toolset of Facebook.
Fake electronic "Democracy" for a fake, electronic nation. The "ideological divide" is a stage prop, for legerdemain. There is no ideological difference between the parties on supremacy of Financial Capitalists, or on the primacy of American Imperial adventurism.
"Centrist"? Don't make me laugh! The "left" in today's Amercian establishment politics is to the right of RIchard Milhouse Nixon.
The role of the illusory "center" in American political manoeuvrings is to legitimise and institutionalise the digressions from Constitutional rule-of-law, into permanent features that endure beyond vacillations of party dominance and individual administrations.
I am not a Ron Paul advocate. But you can be sure this new, electronic primary will produce nothing that deviates from the progammed discourse - as does Paul, or Nader...
"when your right to free speech conflicts with my sacred right to business profit and the unimpeded influence of politics and policy, then I must strenuously object to your material support for terrorism and your declared enmity toward America."
"What no one seemed to notice," said a colleague of mine, a philologist, "was the ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and the people. Just think how very wide this gap was to begin with, here in Germany. And it became always wider. You know, it doesn't make people close to their government to be told that this is a people's government, a true democracy, or to be enrolled in civilian defense, or even to vote. All this has little, really nothing, to do with knowing one is governing.
"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.
"This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.
The very core of your writing while sounding reasonable initially, did not sit perfectly with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in logic and one would do nicely to fill in all those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I will surely end up being fascinated.

Two words:

It might actually be three... or four.
"Your" Congressmen?
Commence laughter now.

CAPTURED BY INDUSTRY.
Reinstating OTA won't solve the problem, when the office will be populated by revolving-door industry flacks, just as regulatory agencies are, today.
Foresight? I bet they don't have foreskin...
Can I flag the MoD? What about the Queen?

Read the Greenwald link. There are almost certainly no Al Shababi uses of Twitter - just intelligent and provacative LULZ.
There are - in fact - no terrorists at all. They are a statistically insignificant political fiction.
Read Escobar, and see how you've been played:

Pointless, ugly and without function or art.

You broke my heart.
At least Taibbi and Greenwald agree with me...

Question so bad, that it's not even a troll.

'Nuff said.
I get about 20% troll, 20% funny and 60% Insightful. With the odd informative chucked in.
Just 'cos I showed up when Taco added ID's, doesn't give me magic powers.
I rely on Unicorn Glitter for those!
Google is shit. All mystique. They are the Microsoft of the new decade.
"We're the secret police for democracy!
"My organization is a believer in civil rights and civil liberties"
Yes. We know: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
"when your right to free speech conflicts with my sacred right to business profit and the unimpeded influence of politics and policy, then I must strenuously object to your material support for terrorism and your declared enmity toward America."
Once the total, financial ruin of the US renders it functionally inoperable, and its laws unenforceable.
Hey that line about "comet Lovejoy plunging into the sun.."
I just used it on some bird in the pub, and it worked!
Authoritarian governments that pass SOPA and NDAA? The Military Commissions Act and PATRIOT?
I am in the mind of Walt Kelly's Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and they are us."
