You will lose the “right” to Fight Animal
Rights. No more searching for a good dog
breeder or whelping tips or information on dog
food and canine nutrition.
What if the only doggy website you could access was
AKC’s? Or one of the many closet animal rights
sites that purports to provide unbiased dog
information.
SOPA and PIPA (privacy and copyright protection
bills) put the burden on website owners to police
user-contributed material and calls for the blocking
entire sites. Most websites don’t have the staff to
comply or the financial resources with which to
defend themselves. Not only that, the most powerful
news outlets may be able outspend and block their
competition. How would you like only being able to
access HSUS, PeTA, other animal rights websites?
And make no mistake: these two bills are just the
beginning; there will be more restrictions added on
until free, accessible internet is gone. That means
sites which we depend on for broad, reliable
information, sites such as Wikipedia will not
survive"
We warned you about
Cass Sunstein, Radical Animal Rights Advocate.
He is President Obama’s Regulatory Czar - the guy
who wrote papers on “cognitive infiltration” of chat
lists, social networks and websites in order to
enforce a U.S. government ban on “conspiracy
theorizing.” He has a long record. In 2009, the NRA
spokesman Wayne LaPierre opened with a zinger at
CPAC. "Sunstein is a radical animal rights extremist
who makes PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals) look like cheerleaders with
pooper-scoopers." He went on to characterize Cass
Sunstein as "a man who wants to give legal standing
to animals so they can sue you for eating meat."
Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of
copyright owners with SOPA and PIPA. Some of your
representatives, the ones who “don’t read the bill,
just sign it” may believe that. But those so-called
“privacy bills” will be fatal to the free and open
Internet.
Hitting
the nail on the head, Wikipedia says “SOPA and PIPA are not the answer:
they will fatally damage the free and open
Internet."
Wikipedia warns that the "internet privacy bills" put the burden on
website owners to police user-contributed material
and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire
sites. Small
sites won't have sufficient resources to defend
themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off
funding sources for their foreign competitors, even
if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites
will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up
in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA build a
framework for future restrictions and suppression."
In
fact, Wikipedia says it cannot survive “In a world
in which politicians regulate the Internet based on
the influence of big money.” Like many bills that
fly through Congress (and by the way, PUPS is back)
the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is
worse than the disease.
We predicted the internet was a
target for Sunstein and SOPA and PIPA are just two
new “regulations” to be fought. You better hurry
before you lose access to chat lists and doggy sites
where you can discuss this problem.
And by the way, have you read Google’s new take it
or leave it “privacy
policy”? We love Google but its rapid rise under
the current administration rivals grandma’s yeast
rolls.
