Internet Censorship and Net Neutrality

[microhive]

The FCC snuck it in 2-4 days before the holydays when the Republics were away and it passed.

However, Fox News and republicans began to badmouth the legislation and use tricks to obscure the facts into it being about internet censorship.

Delicious, I must say. That's what they get for taking early vacation, the lazy buggers.

Quick note: I found out for SURE that Germany, France, and the U.K. have censorship laws, though, according to the 2006 book I'm reading, the U.S. does not.

The level of censorship, if any, is the same in both countries. What is different is that the US government is more actively supporting companies in blocking sites that contain copyright infringing material.

Here is a source on how these countries regulate their censorship.
