On a far away planet reading your posts in the year 10,191.
How long until this initiative being used for anti "copyright infringement" surveillance?
EDIT: the following part is hilarious.
Terror video games: "Video footage of violent acts of terrorism or video games developed by terrorist organizations that simulate acts of terrorism and encourage the user to engage in role-play, by acting the part of a virtual terrorist."
"Video games developed by terrorist organizations", huh? Since when do the likes of Al-Qaeda or Lord's Resistance Army or Ku Klux Klan develop video games as recruiting tool?

...and it is a pretty good game too, at least according to Gamespot.
Shit, between this and all the other proposed internet surveillance bills, now is a BAD time to be an internet libertarian. 😜
Considering we lack a unified world government, it would be extremely difficult to create universal internet policies that all countries would be OK with.
Many of the people who make buzz and talk about monitoring the internet or other such things really don't understand the scope or functioning of the thing and it really goes to show how out-of-touch policy makers are with technology. It's part of the reason why a lot of these policies don't really get anywhere, since when it comes time for the experts to weigh in, the people who thought they had "good" ideas look stupid by comparison.
Besides which, encryption makes monitoring pretty pointless, since the most you would know in the case of monitoring an encrypted connection is that one computer connected with another. :P

but with encryption, you can only made communcation to select few who know the decryption key,
and not to masses that this bills suggested being drafted.
