Youtube shutdown

[nolongerhere]

Gestapo Hunter, that is an awesome avatar, and combined with the name, means you are now a friend.

On topic, the Chinese goverment censored something! OMG! They don't have form for this kind of stuff ... do they?

...can't tell if this is sarcastic or not.

I'm not going to take that as an insult to my knowledge of the world, and just say, yes, it is sarcasm.

Lol, I couldn't tell. Sometimes sarcasm doesn't quite make the transition into printed media very well.

First there's that proposed bill in the U.S that lets Obama shut down the internet and now this. The world is entering dark times... anyone got a torch?

really shut it down or just restric it?

im fucking tired of obama he either needs to A. get impeached B. an attempted assaination and he goes into hiding or C. a sucseful assaination. Some of the shit he is doing is fucking insane, many of the bills he has proposed have been shot down by a 100/0 ratio and the fuck is still trying to pas them.

*head palm*

Shut down or Restrict, either way the world will be severely affected. Here's the link to the Escapist News Post:

No, but I can fashion a flamethrower fairly easily.

Hehe, close enough

LOL

Except you realize that it's a bill proposed by Senators - Senators with great contempt for the Internet since it actually helped people like Obama get elected. Senators who lost money last year because of the Internet. Senators who always go apeshit on video games.

The fact that Kennedy, Rockafeller and Snowe are the writers does not surprise me. They've always wanted absolute power for the President, even during Bush's presidency. All of them voted in favor of wire-tapping and greater TSA power to rape us at the airports. GG, Congress, GG.

Surprised that China's banned YouTube? Not in the slightest. Not after India and most of the Middle East started censoring YouTube. I knew right then that China would be the next country to restrict that avenue of free speech. Mostly because it detracts from its control over people, and presents problems to their network.

Pornography is age restricted, however its not the viewer that gets in trouble for looking at the content, it's the website for not restricting it, and even that doesn't happen as long as the website has a disclaimer which says "caution you must be 18 to view this material." So really... nobody gets in trouble.

As far as child pornography, it doesn't pertain to drawn media. Though I'm not sure why you would want to look at hentai child pornography. People only get in trouble for the posession of child pornography if it is infact real children.

You're right though... america is an evil country for protecting children from sexual abuse? Where did we go wrong? Thank god we have australia to show us where the moral boundaries lie.

I'm sorry, but you're a tool.

Hentai doesn't involve actual children.

erm, if the drawing depicts a person under 18, it's still Illegal in America.

Lisa Simpson is 8. a drawing of her in the nod according to current American law, is child porn.
