PCFIPA - Impossible To Pronounce: Still Invading Your Privacy
Lamar Smith has a new, even more terrifying bill called the “Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act”, which would require ISPs to log ALL of your transactions you make online for up to 18 MONTHS on the premise of catching child pornographers.This bill far over-reaches even the danger level of SOPA and PIPA, and it has already passed through its committee.
Below are relevant articles containing information about the bill:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.1981:
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/the-legislation-that-could-kill-internet-privacy-for-good/242853/
This bill is in strong violation of the 4th Amendment’s unlawful search and seizure writ, and should be immediately and permanently removed from the docket under such grounds. Other means of stopping child pornographers are readily available without having to treat every citizen as guilty by logging their internet behaviour and looking for “guilty” actions. This bill grants an utterly unreasonable amount of power to government agencies and ISPs to police through the elimination of personal privacy, and this is utterly unacceptable.
That’s why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate, which says:
“We’re calling for an immediate indefinite postponement of the upcoming vote on PCFIPA . This bill is in strong violation of the 4th Amendment’s unlawful search and seizure rights, and should be immediately and permanently removed from the docket under such grounds. ”
Something ELSE to keep an eye on in addition to ACTA, PIPA & SOPA
jesus fuck where are they all coming from suddenly! it’s like a conspiracy of assholes decided to carpet-bomb the internet with these bullshit bills in the hopes that one of them will get through by sheer chance.
“Fuck you” doesn’t even begin to cover my feelings on this front.

At 2.43am, the New York Observer reported that photographers with credentials were barred from Liberty Square. Seconds later the director of editorial operations at Gawker reported that a CBS news chopper were ordered out of the sky by the NYPD. New York Times journalist Jarid Malsin went to jail in zipties. And 20 minutes later, we heard the NYPD was cutting down trees in Liberty Square, and from our office space we could hear the deployment of a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), a sound cannon. To be certain, we could see and feel that this operation had been planned carefully to exclude all media coverage, sending out a loud message about how dissent will be treated in this democracy.
Holy fuck. Hello, Rabbit Hole.
Maybe everyone in America should read this?
Oh dear.
Thank your billionaire mayor.

Kyl Throws Fake Fact Down Memory Hole
Sen. Jon Kyl, who caused a good deal of amusement when he announced that abortion was more than 90% of what Planned Parenthood does and then declaring that it was not intended to be a factual statement, has now managed to erase his lie from the Congressional Record.
“We’ve always been at war with facts.”
