Didn't the US just pass or block the appeal against the Internet neutrality act? IE the bill that was supposed to prevent corporate interests from being able to censor or influence the Internet.

I'm confused.

GODDAMMIT WORLD, STOP HEADING TOWARDS THE PATH IN SID MEIER'S ALPHA CENTAURI.

Other great quote from that game which is oddly pertinent:
Quote:
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

The only thing consistent in the USA is that there are always bastards using our money to screw us over.

An interesting tidbit. The US has many times greater requests from different agencies for sites like youtube to remove videos than China does.

We can make believe that China is the new great red threat to freedom, but they are less ****** than us in many ways.
