Obama wins the Internet!

If this passes, in case of emergency or critical situation Americans will have no choice but to get their information from the media such as tv and the radio, and they will say whatever the government wants them to say.

No

Pretty sure if that were the case, I would still be in chains right now. Even before the internet, we found ways to communicate through the mainstream media before it was televised, so we can do it again.
Americans,A good bit of them, rebelled against the media so things could change, and that was before the internet.

Yea, internet is HEAVILY relied on americans right now, but it won't kill us all if its gone.
Im not saying that I agree with w/e bill might be passed(probally not) but I see why something like that would come up.
A good bit of people don't have any access to the internet and they have no way of getting to the library. And yet (from what ive seen) the media doesn't affect them as much.

An example is the group the black panthers. This group was made from different people that had the same ideals about the way he country was being run. They weren't influneced by the media at all, infact they rebelled against it, and used it as a weapon. They had no internet to look it up how malcom X got his way of thinking or, how

Theirs many groups/people that have made impacts in history, that rebelled against the media before the times of the internet. I just chose that one because I was in the mood 2.

People don't even take the time to research about what goes on in the world today when they have the Internet In Their Face. Do you think that will change when they have no internet?

Still, getting rid of the internet for good is a drastic measure, I don't really like it, but I view it as a back up plan just incase someone manages to do something that will harm everyone in some kind of way.
(who knows how though)

This is coming from a person who's use to having is internet cut off for not paying a bill or computer problems so meh.

A big worry though that I have about this is that if (even though it probably won't) this gets passed, alot more jobs/businesses will be in jeopardy.

/swt to me, that is what I see to be the real problem with this, not
how am I going to live if I have to listen to the radio or read the biased newspaper.
*looks at MLK*
HOW DID YOU DO IT?
