Obama Wants Controls on the Internet

this is one of the most absurd threads ever posted on these forums. Obama is gone soon, you really need a civics lesson.

I don't accept your definition of what is absurd any more that I accept Obama's definition of what the truth is.
 
i highly doubt that Obama wants the internet to be censored, and i find it even less likely that he has the means to do anything to that end even if he wanted to at this point. i find it much more likely that the next administration will, though. i can only assume that the OP will fight just as valiantly if that were to prove to be the case.
 
Trump is against "net neutrality"...and "freedom of the press".

It's time to stop worrying about Obama and start worrying about what Trump is going to do.

Exactly. Hopefully the attacks on our rights will leave office with Obama. It would be nice for our government to focus on the economy, increasing wages of someone besides government workers, and the expansion of our rights and freedom instead of restricting and taking them away.

more right wing bubble
 
Without a free internet would we even have heard of Wikileaks? Would we have heard of climategate?



Yes, democracy and free speech are such a bitches. This pretty much confirms the authoritarian nature of the "globalism" these leaders are talking about.

Obama wasn't nearly as concerned about the internet back when it helped him get elected.

And I suppose all that media coverage that Trump got had nothing to do with his being elected.

Certainly there is a lot of nonsense that gets communicated on the internet, but the mainstream media spreads a lot of nonsense as well. And, of course, when Obama proposes to subject online media to a truth test, the question becomes "Whose truth?" Over at google.com they have climate fanatics censoring skeptical views. The climate fanatics view of what is true has never been verified for the most part, and much of it is nonsense.

(I can quote sections of the IPCC report that would not pass muster with these climate fanatics.)

In any case, I vote "no" on censorship. Social media that censors conservative views, like twitter, deserves to fail.

“It took a while until societies learned how to find the right kind of policies to contain this and to manage and steer this,” she said.

Now, you could argue whether she was talking about the printing press or industrialization, but I mean, WOW. What did THIS society do? We wrote into our most supreme law, that govt could not make any laws infringing on the freedom of the press. Really shows the difference between the US and Europe.

your attempt to blame Obama for Bushes patriot act is ridiculous

So it was Bush that wanted to take away a persons right to bear arms for suspicion of being a terrorist.

So it was Bush who wanted to send citizens to GITMO with no due process for suspicion of terrorism.

I always thought Bush was still president.

Obama put a freeze on federal government wages in 2009. After 8 years, and now that economy is doing better, they probably deserve a raise. lol

Obama expanded rights for women and LGTB. So what rights were taken away? Do you think Trump is going to protect the rights of minorities?

It seems that most of your opinions are based on false information. Do you think that will change now that Trump is president?

Certain kinds of speech are banned in Germany. Neo-nazi propaganda, for example.
