今天，维基抗议美国管制网络信息

维基百科今天罢市，抗议美国历法管制网络信息，谷歌等网站亦支持维基百科抗议美国国会立法管制网络信息。

曾几何时，希拉里极力鼓吹信息自由，不料今天美国政府亦欲以管制网络信息。自“占领华尔街运动”以来，美国政府已经通过了《军事授权法》，将美国置于军事管制之下，走出了希特勒转民主为独裁的关键性一步。今天美国国会拟立法《制止网上盗版法》（SOPA）和《防止在线盗窃知识产权法》（PIPA）旨在管制网络信息。维基百科英文版今天罢市，抗议美国政府拟管制网络信息。

We got it. The two bills are saying that we should stop eating because we were choked by something once. I'm sure you heard about "因噎废食".

And they leave a lot of potential power to the government, which was probably the original intend. Putting a naive name on them does not make them good.

Saying you're smart doesn't prove that you're not dumb.

Apparently Tender, 海涯, and foogle have each failed to understand the substance or the content of SOPA and PIPA. Apparently, they have equally failed to understand the difference between piracy and the freedom of information. To compare the two is similar to saying that if the freedom of information is to be protected, we must allow child pornography to be freely distributed. That is as absurd as it is asinine. Unfortunately, that difference seems to be lost on you.

The misrepresentation from the blog owner: he states that the U.S. Government (it is really the U.S. Congress in discussion of a legislation) is legislating to restrict the freedom of information. That is untrue. The U.S. Congress is considering legislation (SOPA, PIPA) to counter piracy. The protest here is that that this legislation could have the effect of restricting freedom of information. This, however, is not the same as the U.S. government legislating to restrict freedom of information. The blog owner mixed the two different concepts together. It is not at all surprising to have this coming from him, given his track record.

I support Wikipedia's protest, by the way. However, I find it funny that the purported supporter of such protest failing to understand just what it is that is being supported, or protested.

America is indeed a second NAZI Germany.

最讲一个无关的故事。
大多数人都没有注意到一个小新闻。就在韩国Destroyer沉没之前,Obama出访问韩国，谈双边贸易。美国汽车出口韩国条款没成功。这条款谈了无数年，韩国就是不肯。Obama走了没多久，韩国的Destroyer就沉了。高潮来了。Obama以最快时间打电话给李明博表示支持，李当场敲定美汽车出口条款。明不明白啊？

[fgoogle]

讲讲题外的故事。吃饭时候，跟当兵回来的同事聊天。我说入侵伊拉克没找到化学武器，布什还能成功连任，这就说明美国的报纸是非常biased,很多老百姓是brain washed。他承认。说结果是，在他deployed时候，每次出营，都抓几把糖，把裤兜都塞满，出去好哄小孩，因为连小孩都讨厌他们。

This is also from the Google's homepage today:
Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

对于某些人来说，凡是他的美国老爹做的，都是对的。
Sigh!

楼下HCC用英文在装懂。wikipedia的英文头版写着：
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet.
明明白白写着“美国政府正用法律对自由开放的网络进行致命破坏”
HCC却胡诌隐私问题，还说别人虚传真相？！

Here is what Wikipedia posted on their website:

"Why is the blackout happening?
Wikipedians have chosen to black out the English Wikipedia for the first time ever, because we are concerned that SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit people's access to online information...

Why? SOPA and PIPA are badly drafted legislation that won't be effective at their stated goal (to stop copyright infringement), and will cause serious damage to the free and open Internet. They 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. And, SOPA and PIPA build a framework for future restrictions and suppression."

So Wikipedia is protesting exactly what the OP posted here: the freedom of information. Seems it is you who is accusing the other people with false information.

Wikipedia is protesting SOPA and PIPA, which are aimed to counter online piracy, not the freedom of information.

Don't you ever get tired of misrepresenting the facts on your blog?
