So unless some serious event on a massive scale happens, we're doomed.
Are people of the world going to become slaves of a new generation of world-wide fascism ?

The future doesn't seem very bright for personal freedoms. Can anything at all be done about it ?
Will we be telling our children that once wa had the thing called "internet" where everybody could share stuff and communicate freely ?

But we need to protect the children ! TOR is a tool used only by pedophiles. So TOR should be banned & deep-packet-inspection filtered out of the internet.
Don't you want to protect the children ? Or perhaps you are some kind of pervert ?

Oh, i forgot to add that using cryptography should also be banned alltogether (for the common man at least).
Specialised organs willbe providing licenses for using cryptography only for people who are thoroughly tested against pedophilia, perversion, schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

After all, if you are a good person, then you have nothing to hide, don't you ?

Why do you think that the corporations signed ?

it needs to get a lot worse, as fast as it can,
so that average joe feels it on his skin,
this retardation and protests are not helping,

either fight it extremely hard,
or let it get worse without saying a word, that way, system as a whole has a chance of detecting those changes as bad,

if it is done little by little (because protests are making it slower)
imo, this scenario that is happening right now is the worst possible one

Woo! Another potential adherent of anarcho-fascism! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anarcho-Fascism/120635897984051

Anarchism through fascism! Let's get it done! Beef up CISPA, enforce it with death patrols who call air-strikes on datacenters, ban computers! Eliminate tax deductions, criminalize commerce, mandate citizen-enforced rectal searches at bus stops!

Right. They need to be aware of their oppression! I assure you that when citizens are required by law to search the rectal cavities of their neighbor at the bus stop, they will stop and wonder why they should.

There needs to be a strong push-back, but it's not going to happen if the majority of citizens believe their government's laws are fairly reasonable, though perhaps a tad over-bearing. Thus, I propose we shove authoritarianism in their face until the majority of citizens are truly fed-up.
