Does anyone fear that the internet...

[icon124]

I think as this first generation becomes the middle aged and then older gereration the internet would have 3 generations with all of this information...to the US that can't happen and they realize this, so I do think the internet will be stopped before we get more generations involved

It's called Net Neutrality.

Doesn't Ron oppose Net Neutrality?

 

[Dr.3D]

People won't stand for that.

What would they do to stop it from happening? NOTHING! There is nothing people could do to stop it.

 

[Dr.3D]

Doesn't Ron oppose Net Neutrality?

Yes he does! Net neutrality is just the opposite of what the name implies.

Does anyone fear that the internet will be attempted to be taken away from us because of the "threat" RP and we have posed? Assuming Paul doesn't become President, the people "in charge" will have to know that we are all fired up and organizing on the internet for the long haul to make sure the Constitutional candidate in 4 years does win.. I fear they will try to take the internet away, somehow, and then it will be back to hitting the streets, which isn't bad, but you get my point...

absolutely no doubt

Wow, this thread I started exploded into 3 pages pretty damn quick... This is serious.

If the government can arrest people for having a "suspicious" face, then they can censor the Internet.

Thing is, a lot of people probably won't realize it because it will be a slow process of filtering, and if they do, then it will be too late.
It's just a speculation though.

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

You mean the threat of dominating 5-10% of Republican primaries?

And 20% of the GOP youth vote. Paul is very popular with the actual future of the party.

Wow, this thread I started exploded into 3 pages pretty damn quick... This is serious.

It's one for me. I have my settings so that I get 40 posts per page. Makes it a lot easier, I think.

 

[dax702]

Yes the government is damn good at doing things without people realizing it as we all know.

 

[bcreps85]

I said this a long time ago, and subsequently there has already been a bill proposed for it suggesting that government isn't doing enough to protect people on the internet from terrorists and other people with radical ideas...

It's coming.

I fear this revolution will end with violence.

 

[Redcard]

Exactly what threat did we pose?

They said we weren't big when we were spamming their polls online.. and we proved it today. This is so much like the Nader campaign it's not even funny, and they didn't feel a threat then.

 

[Zolah]

Yes he does! Net neutrality is just the opposite of what the name implies.

War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength

 

[dax702]

We posed a big enough thread to be IGNORED by the media. If Paul had gotten the same amount of attention and coverage as the other candidates, this thing would be the other way around simply because most Americans get their news from the mainstream.

 

[Patriot123]

Oh yeah. They won't stand for it. They won't stand for taking away their freedoms either. Or having their government engage in torture. Or have their government start unprovoked wars.

No way. People are way to smart for that.

And if you believe that, I actually shit bars of solid gold.

People already live in a cage. If you want to motivate people, you take away their TV. At this point, I'm convinced that the government could gun down all the Ron Paul supporters as terrorists and most people wouldn't even think twice about it.

~X~

Exactly how Germany had the word "Nazi" slapped in front of it. The masses were too brainwashed to care. They believed what they were told... because they were promised permadent hope. By Hitler.

 

[scotto2008]

I've often thought that subversives such as ourselves should have some kind of backup plan in case of a "terrorist" attack on the net infrastructure. Maybe an emergency database of cell phone numbers. Of course, that could fall into the wrong hands.

If you think I'm paranoid, remember what old whats-his-name said, "Paranoia is the least of our worries."

[notagain]

Yes, they will do everything they can to limit free press. Just think about it, internet=Ron Paul.

 

[sajorojas]

I fear this revolution will end with violence.

What does everyone think of that statement? If it came down to that, would you be willing to literally fight for your freedom?

 

[dax702]

If it came down to that, I would be more than willing to fight for my freedom. Just think about it - WE could be the ones America will be talking about 100 years from now. We're modern day founding fathers fighting against the Machine. It's noble and I would feel like a coward if I continued to have "ah fuck it" attitude....
