>< that means the ISP want to charge you for certain websites you want to use, which means they are invading your privacy to know what you are doing online?

Sigh

I'm contemplating on summoning the powers of 4chan to combat this evil.

by what, ddos so that they can give the government a reason to pass this shit. A lot of these hacking groups are falling right into the hands of the gov.

Government is going to act in the interest of corporations no matter what. Disruptive behaviour raises awareness, and it's better to have controverial legislation on the front page than to have it anonymously tucked away.

Sucks.

suprisingly, a large group of people rising up to isrupt services is normally viewed as a problem (i know i see it as such) an this just gives the government more an more reason to step in.

4chan is a cancer that is seriously ruining the world. i'm not being ironic or anything.

Yes, let's crack down on those pesky dissidents who demand reform. People only exist to subserviently benefit the government.

I'm sure that if everyone just sits completely still and breathe quietly, then government won't be lobbied by corporate interests, and perhaps the NSA and DHS won't see ghosts everywhere. This is the sort of stuff that won't go away without sufficient public outcry, and neither the EFF, the FSF, or any of the other traditional interest organisations have had much luck with traditional interest organisation awareness raising. At least now, the issues are being talked about outside of technological circles.

i'm not saying sit quietly, but ddosing and other such actions just give the government much more reason to step in.

You want net neutrality?

Vote republican.

Bonus points: Support Tea Party.

I'm not gay but if I was Ron Paul would be my love crush. I'm not sayin... I'm just sayin.

You don't know Anonymous very well then.

Peacefully protesting across the street isn't against the law. And Fox News made a mockery out of them. Legion isn't some secret gang of internet bullies. They believe that knowledge should be free, and I do too. The government is censoring more and more, and even illegally taking control of websites..

Who do you think found the person who threw puppies into the lake? They do good, but if you ask for something to benefit yourself then they'll probably rip you a new one.

Honestly I don't really know all that much about them, but for some reason my views are different than yours regarding them. Also, I think there were two hives, one who threatened, and one who went about it peacefully, only exposing information.

This isn't the only problem going on either (censoring the internet and various other things regarding it's use), they are invading our constitutional rights, conditioning us and changing things more and more.

+1 to Fluffy's post btw.
