No drama from me bro. I’ve actually learned something because of this! xD
Sorry about misunderstanding things. I was using the image alone for context. I did not intend to cause any drama.
ACTA, however, is completemy new to me, so I really had no clue what this pic was all about.

“ACTA is bad you guys”
This is all new to me.
._.
So incorrect. ACTA is a treaty between multiple nations to stop counterfeit goods and copyright infringement.
“another attempt” Dude… This treaty is 6 years old. ._.
And this is officially, literally the very first image that I downvoted.Well… I actually don’t see reason to downvote. Lol

Damn!… “inventing the new age of war!” xD
CIRCUITS IN MY BLOOD!!! Mechanize the core!
high bidders in control! Welcome to the future! Where victory’s bought and sold!
For several reasons, but primarily because the pay-offs aren’t exactly advertised to the public, and the fact that they couch each of these bills in utter bullcrap.
For example, several of the large ISPs here want to be able to charge users for the sites they have access to. Instead of paying a monthly fee and being able to access everything, they want to change it so you have to pay based on what sites you use. Use popular sites like Facebook? You’ll have to pay more to access them.
They want to break the internet down exactly like cable TV packages. You pay more for access to more content.
Currently they can’t legally do this. So they lobby, over and over and over and over, to get this changed. And they spend tons of money running ads and other things trying to convince the public that this is actually beneficial for them (the end user) and offers them “more choice.”
It’s all a bunch of shady stuff, and not only is it bad enough that we keep getting similar attempts at screwing the internet up royally in the name of profit, but then we get a lawyer who used to work for one of the ISPs lobbying for this moving on and becoming the head of the FCC, which is the federal department which oversees and controls this stuff. It’s a serious conflict of interest, and shady as all hell.
Huh… tricky.
Why hasn’t that dropped their profits? :/
Huge corporations spend money “influencing” the correct people in the government. I.e. “support our attempt at stifling freedoms which we think threaten our profits, and we’ll donate millions to you”, and these kind of things come up again and again.
The problem is these multi-billion dollar companies are essentially running half the country, and even when a stupid bill gets veto’d, they just wait a little while, rewrite it a little, and then attempt to pass it again under a different name while claiming it’s actually to “protect” people.
Ah! Okay.
To be honest, the government wouldn’t ever “toll” every website on the internet because then nobody would use it besides those who could afford the constant toll.
That’s a huge profit drop. It would be a problem for the government! So they wouldn’t really do that now would they?
…would they?
if the other word fragments in the pic mean anything (SOPA, PIPA), ir looks to be yet another attempt by governments to limit internet freedoms.
Me? xD
