- I also am a strong supporter of not allowing any government body the power
- of censorship on the internet or in any public venue for that matter. Even
- though it now stands before the U.S. Government as a law, the internet is
- a world wide community. I think nobody can ingnore the ramifications that
- can occur if we allow any government to have control over the internet.
- If they are successful here then other governments could use it as a
- presedent to impliment it on their home soil. If the U.S. government is
- successful in their attempts to censor the internet than it will affect
- EVERYONE in the internet community.
-
- I Urge everyone to participate in this protest from any country! Let the
- U.S. Law makers know that the internet is not theirs to command!! Make them
- realize that the internet is what it is. A world wide community that will
- not allow any government intervention into it's affairs. In a sense we are
- a total embodiment of democracy, free speech and the exchange of cultures
- that deserves the protection of all it's members.
