| 1254939 | 2012-01-19 09:21:00 | Then people will resist harder. People will resist for the moment, but eventually it will be when there is apparent safety and security and people turn a blind eye that we will all end up at square one. Or we'll just end up with a separate anonymous internet they can't censor. Oh wait, that pretty much already exists. How do you figure? Do you have an alternative to the Southern Cross cable? Anonymity on the internet is a logical fallacy. Everything can be very easily traced. The closest thing now is via disposable cell phones. To those with enough resources and will, there are few barriers to find anyone they want. |

Bill passes but we're still left with 95% of the original bill. Public is happy because they thought they just saw democracy in action, gov laughs and rubs their hands because 95% of their draconion bill still got through parliament and got passed into law. Whos the real winner here? And don't laugh at that scenario. It happened here last year with the revised 92a bill The American gov must have finally clicked on what to do. |
