Senate Trying To Pass SOPA In Sheep’s Clothing? Gasp, I’m Shocked.

Gasp! In things that you should have seen coming, the sentiment behind SOPA continues to thrive on Capitol Hill.

Gizmodo:

After the  Internet bandied up together and killed SOPA, you’d think the government would be a little weary of introducing SOPA-like bills less the Internet start a revolution and  start calling out dumb politicians. Guess not though because it looks like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid still wants to censor the internet with a new bill hidden under the mask of cybesecurity. SOPA in sheep’s clothing.

According to  The Daily Caller, details about the bill are “shrouded in secrecy” though “clues available to the public suggest that the bill might be stronger” than previous bills and “broadly expand the authority of executive branch agencies over the Internet.” Supposedly, Reid will couch the new SOPA with some sort of cybersecurity bill to create a Frankenstein monster law. Of course, this is all conjecture, which means nothing is really happening  yet  but it’s clear that the government wants something  to happen.

We don’t want to cry wolf on this bill but it’s clear that the government has full intention in creating laws that’ll shackle down the free reign of the Internet. When will they learn. We’ll keep an eye on this as it progresses.

Perhaps dismally, I can’t help but feel the Internet, the (relatively) free-wheeling Leviathan is going to be chained and shackled. It’s only a matter of time and clandestine subterfuge. But it’s okay America, we have reality stars and quasi-meat fast food products to keep us farm.
