Scary thought, huh?

Apparently the Internet hasn't done a good enough job regulating itself, so the United State government is going to step in. And we all know what a wonderful track record the United States government has when it comes to being the ones in charge of things...

I think somebody made a thread about this a while back. Hopefully the US Government doesnt restrict us heavily.

except the problem is that the US isn't in charge of the world, and would drive everyone to overseas servers

Um, has someone told them that?

 

[Shadowmancer]

yeah but they get shut up quickly, Hegemony is a bitch that way

If the government dares to regulate the internet, there's gonna be a riot. Oh and by the way, The ACLU's gonna be right on that if it gets enforced. Hello Privacy issues.

China owns the US, just because of debt. And with the way the government has been doing lately, the last thing they need is to try and regulate the internet.

If the US is stepping in with internet, I'm guessing it would only be with the United States internet? Common sense perhaps, but if they decided to "control & track" internet in North America, I'm sure they would lose some "friends" in general due to privacy issues and what not. Hopefully the internet stays the same.

First off, no they don't "own" the US, and second China already "regulates and censors" the internet, don't think they would give a flying fuck if the US gov. started doing the same

Between China and Japan, the equivalent of the entire east coast of the US could be claimed by the bonds that those countries hold in the United States.

They are a production based economy. They produce so much on the assumption we purchase it. They need us as much as we need them. If we go under, no one buys their shit.
