This law is just part of a continuing effort to erode and limit the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Continuing attacks on fundamental rights in the United States will continue as long as fear replaces philosophy as the primary tool used to win elections and retain/attain power in elections.
It is imperative for citizens of democracies to fight laws which restrict rights -- even if that means protecting the rights of those they find offensive. The test of any action should be whether that action restricts of limits the freedome of others. If it does, then the act is bad., If it does not, then it should be tolerated even if it is ugly and indecent.
I do not think it would be a good idea for Google to buy Opera. While expanding beyond their current market zone would make Wall Street and its accountants happy, it would hasten the process of reducing Google's stature among users. . . . There are enough multi-billionaires trying to be everything to computer users.
On a personal note, this brought to my attention the fact that Opera now has no ads in the free version. There is now room on my desktop for it!
