To fellow users of the Internet:
Greetings.
Anonymous has a grave announcement to make to all users of the World Wide Web.
The Internet you have come to take for granted has once again come under attack.
Several interest groups have been successfully lobbying to consolidate internet
censorship within the United States. They are rallying for the right to remove any
websites they deem "inappropriate" and, ultimately, for the ability to remove any
content that disagrees with their profit margins, personal whims, or other agendas.
This new initiative is called the PROTECT IP Act:
You must login or register to view this content....
This bill would allow the US Government to force ISPs and search engines to
censor websites they do not like under the guise of "copyright protection".
Instead of reducing piracy, this bill endangers the free flow of information.
Through domain seizures, ISP blockades, search engine censorship, and the
restriction of funding to websites accused of infringement, this bill promises to
take Internet censorship to the next level. Furthermore, it violates the citizens
' rights to due process, to free speech, to free expression and to legal
representation at their hearing.
The Internet is a place where anyone and everyone can come together freely
to share information and opinions. The freedom the Internet provides has
served as a global aid for tens of millions of people in places like Egypt, Tunisia
and Iran, to name a few. All of this has been accomplished largely without
interference from corporations, governments, or any other global institutions until now.
We must unite and stand up to those who wish to censor the Internet.
We must not allow them the freedom to moderate information and decide what we are
"permitted" to view.
We must protect what is rightfully ours.
We must protect the rights of the Internet.
You Are Anonymous
You are legion
You can not forgive this.
You can not forget this.
Expect eRevolution.

What they claim as "fighting" is actually hindering us. They can fight the "power" so called, but its hindering us in the long run. Some things are meant to be censored. They just need to stop while they are ahead.
nothing should be censored, you see it because its real, censoring it is a closeminded idea that wants to not let you even think that that can happen

You do speak the truth, and they are going a bit overboard, but i do agree, somethings need to be pulled. Not all, just some.
I agree with that too, however there is no way in this day and age we can trust the government to pull stuff in our best interests, which is specifically why this bill will ruin the internet, they will abuse it to their hearts(bank accounts) content.

Exactly, with the old system people like us had enough rep to scare people away from stupidly -repping us(sounds like rep abuse, but really it's just protection). Now newbs are just running riot with their groans and we have nothing to protect ourselves with :FU:
Something like a -50 & +100 rep limit wouldn't be so bad, removing it completely however flat-out sucks.

Nah man it sucks for the noobs too, I have turned my attitude around on the forum and made a decent thread with no flaming or anything and yet some dude groans me. I then checked it out he gave 1 like and multiple groans out today. So yes the groan button is being abused already. I don't care to much about it but shows that the new system is more easily abused.

Guess what? You have to look for those things on the internet. More importantly the internet is the best free speech and expression we have.
