The internet is open to everyone for a reason. It is because there is no other place like it for the spread of thought. While there will always be 'bad' activity on the internet, just as all other places, you must look for the good. We can communicate without borders and spread ideas and items. If this censoring were to pass, it would only open the door to more. Besides being unfairful in its own right, we can not let this be the stepping stone for later laws. I've been spoiled as an American. I've grown up with free speech. The internet is somewhere others can turn who don't have that liberty. Don't take that away from them. Every government by its nature wants to be a dictatorship. The US government has been taking stribes in recent years to block the flow of free ideas. Most of these have failed, and others are still being reviewed as you read this. Let this die like the others before it causes harm to such a fragile environment.
