Censored???
So this might not be perfectly with my theme of education, but I thought since almost all students use the internet, and many of them torrents and other things to pirate information its relevant enough to discuss. What I am talking about is the new proposed bill discussed in this article, a bill that some people think would make a difference in the amount of stuff that is constantly being pirated. To do this, the bill stipulates that sites like google would have to remove sites like thepiratebay.org (torrent sites) from its results, preventing many people from finding these torrent sites. Personally I thought this was surprising, I thought living in the "home of the free" was supposed to be free and uncensored, unfortunately it might start to change as time progresses.

It is a serious concern and one I am glad you have written about. Any suggestions on how we can have our voices heard about this?
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that not that many people had posted about this or even heard about it. Social media gives people a good outlet to let their voices be heard, more people should be discussing and posting about this on facebook/twitter/blogger. Hopefully we won't need to make our voices heard, hopefully the constitution will be applied and this bill will not pass.
