Obama aims to destroy the internet

[dicion]

You may think that I'm being sarcastic, or even blowing it a little out of proportion, but I'm not.

Portions of the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement" have been leaked today. Portions that the Obama administration would not release, claiming 'National Security'...

They are Bad. Really, really bad.

How is this gun related, you ask? Well, if this passes, all of the gun and shooting information available online, especially on sites like YouTube, will potentially be gone.

I don't know about destroying the internet but the process in place seems mighty secretive. I hoped more openness would have been more open.

The second link seemed to imply to my unschooled-mind that the US Government is trying to establish back-door methods to stifle the internet, closely resembling past efforts to use the commerce clause in various forms to restrict gun manufacture and sales.

How can Obama possibly be planning to destroy an internet that had been invented by fellow democrat and past POTUS nominee, Al Gore. Is there no honor among these people?

No.
