Government and the internet

[ktheodos]

So - did you hear? The government is giving up some control of the internet....lol

i hope so they don't need to regulate everything i feel it's not there business what we do on the net especially the people who are not doing anything illegal

The government cutting back on Internet regulations and oversight?  I seriously doubt that one!  You know what they say, "Don't believe everything that you hear."  The government has it's hands in everything.  The world needs more whistle blowers like Snowden.  I am a big fan of freedoms and liberties that can only be had through limited government.  Our governments today are too large and cumbersome seeking to dictate and legislate everything they can get their hands on.  As far as I am concerned, the government can keep their hands off my internet as it needs no regulation just responsible adults with common sense.  Everything just should not be regulated and government agencies do not need to be spying and recording everything possible.

The Government needs to stop spying on us and focus on our 17 trillion dollar debt and the economy.

No.  I had not heard this.  I have heard in the past few days how the are doing more spying than we previously knew.

I don't believe anything the government says. I think they are lying, they just don't want people to get too upset over the spying, so they'll pretend they are backing off.

They are more worried about taxing you when you buy something over the internet.

I had not heard this, but it is probably a lie. If it is coming from the government!

[monnee]

They have probably been spying on everyone since the internet's been created.

ok, like we really know what the government is doing with the internet.  I say we should all assume they every single little thing we do on the internet.
