After reading this I’ve come to realize that politicians are pawns. Perhaps not all, but certainly enough of them are to make egregious internet censorship a true problem.
The thing I love most about the internet is that it’s real life. It’s the entire human psyche laid bare in the grossest way it ever could be. I’m hopeful that freedom will be victorious, as it has been several times throughout history, but I know that it’s going to be hard fought.
Cory Doctorow:
Tor, the censorship-busting technology developed by the US Navy and promoted by the State Department as part of the solution to allowing for free communications in repressive regimes, is likely illegal technology under the Stop Online Piracy Act.
Doesn’t that mean that SOPA establishes exactly the type of repressive regime that Tor circumvents?
