New Internet Surveillance Bill "H.R. 1981" WORSE than SOPA

[t3hgt3ftw1n]

This video just appeared on YouTube talking about a new bill, called H.R. 1981:

The government wants to track down your Internet activity, credit cards, bank accounts, etc. We must take a stand against it, the same way the whole world did with SOPA. Spread the word!

Thanks CARCRASH for the embed below!

This bill has been around since last summer. It went under the radar with SOPA being the main talking point.

 

[Xenn]

It doesn't help that this bill has a completely different name to it, which is completely irrelevant to what this bill does.

Lamar Smith seriously needs to stop.

 

[The Bman]

What. The. Hell!

I knew they would stop at nothing to do this 🤬

Well, now it seems that the people and the media have to make public conscience about this bill the same way SOPA was covered by the media.

I agree with you on this one. +1 👍

Now anything that you do on the Internet will be checked and kept by the FBI for an entire year. At least SOPA/PIPA didn't work that way. And unless you want the FBI to keep a record of your credit card(s), bank account(s), online purchases, or anything on the Internet, we must take a stand to this bill and oppose it before it's too late!

I'm getting tired of these internet bills. I'm not about to sacrifice freedom for safety.

+1 on that. The Internet is something that the government can't control.

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Along with other congresspersons, Smith introduced the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a law against copyright infringement and other illegal activities on the Internet. He also introduced the Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 (PCIP), which changes sentencing rules and mandates that ISPs keep information (such as name, IPs, credit card numbers, and bank account numbers) for each customer a year after they leave. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, (D-California) and Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) criticized PIPA. Lofgren said a better name would be "Keep Every Americans' Digital Data for Submission to the Federal Government Without a Warrant Act". Conyers said the bill would allow use of the information for purposes entirely unrelated to fighting child pornography.

SOPA should be neutered because of all these bastard children it produces.

 

[Slash]

I'm really getting sick of all these God dang bills.

 

[Ibonibo]

It's simple,
if they make only one bill, everybody will notice,
so they make a hundert of them, like sperms, even if only one passes they won.

Sopa, Pipa, acta, hr1981 + all the national ones, but one main force behind it: Contentmafia

Then we must stop each and every Internet bill that affects our freedom and privacy. Just imagine what can happen to the Internet if these bills were in effect .

These bills are outrageous. In Canada we have Bill C-30 which will grant police access to anyones internet history at anytime, which will in all likely pass because of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews saying quote "If you don't support the bill, you support child porn." So, in his words, any person that values privacy on the internet supports pedophiles. How the frick does giving away my privacy help you catch criminals?

Ask Lamar Smith himself. Let's hope Smith doesn't repeat what Toews said. If he does... I don't know what will happen to the Internet. I'll be like this guy at 1:11

We need to override Congress ASAP. The overall approval rating is below 9 percent. That is sickening.

...And yet in Congress, below 9% is enough for them.

"If you don't support the bill, you support child porn."

Didn't you know, every internet or computer user is a low life, pirate, child molester, pedophile, pornaddicted, hacker....

In all seriousness, these old people that don't know how to even power up a pc needs to quit to be our leaders.

Vote the right people next time!

Look here ACTA,
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=243441
there are so many threads about it, it's simply mindblowing that they continue to try to pass a new one when clearly the people don't want that

[t3hgt3ftw1n]

This thread should become a sticky. This even needs to be on the News section of GTPlanet. This affects ALL of us. We must boycott this bill the same way SOPA/PIPA were boycotted.

Err, why? All this bill requires is that when an ISP assigns an IP address through DHCP that it retain a record of which IP was assigned to which account for a period of one year. Many ISP's already do that and for longer periods of time to boot. This bill, unlike SOPA/PIPA/ACTA and whatnot, doesn't call for any tracking of activity or filtering of content.

👍 Calm yourselves, children.

 

[Northstar]

Yeah, this is nowhere as near as bad as SOPA, which pretty much would have given the government the ability to kill any website. This does nothing like that.

Saying that, I don't think these bills are even intended to pass, it seems that after SOPA and the Megaupload take down sites have really started policing themselves and even voluntarily shut down in some instances. Perhaps it's just their way of warning people that if they can't police themselves they will step in.

This would/will just plain suck.

👎 to the US government for making all these stupid bills and 👎 to the Canadian government for making stupid bills. Overall, 👎 to governments for thinking they own the internet.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Wow, this is stupid.

so, i think i got this, if i go to a porn page they would know it??damn

 

[BobK]

Err, nope. Not what it does at all.

Read all the comments. There aren't that many.

 

[BobK]

Read all the comments. There aren't that many.

It's much more fun to just jump on a bandwagon than to do a little research, though. Certainly easier than actually reading something.

 

[Villain]

Amen to that. Being part of a group consensus seems to be more valued than personal knowledge for some people.
