These damn Republicans would do anything to own the internet why can't they get it to their thick skulls that the internet is free and it's for everyone it isn't own by no one not even the US.

It's actually the Internet providers who're doing this...not politicians.

Are they that stupid...?

All of the ISPs will lose ALOT of customers if they ever try to shut off a person's internet. That's like someone blocking internet access via parental control.

Uhhhhhhh, I am so confused here, what the heck does this mean? Are they going to look at our downloading history pending on the ISPs?

Basically, yeah. They (ISPs such as Verizon, Time Warner, AOL) are going to "stalk" on your IP address for any pirating file downloaded on the computer. Result for the user will either block the site or lose bandwidth from a few to none at all.

I'm curious as to how they will determine whether the user is downloading pirated material. All that link contained was a headline.

And, two, if all of them do it collectively then where will those users go?

This is making me think that there is no legitimate way of them actually tracking people down that won't either contradict privacy rights or just outright piss people off;

This whole thing is a complete and utter farce and should just be avoided completely as one of the biggest blunders in history...

Is this what it has come to? Fighting a bunch of idiots we voted in for our freedoms? I mean really, do they have nothing better to do?

I'm actually more interested on how it gonna work in a crowded place like at the bus stop or at subway station where tens or even hundreds of people are talking at the same time. Since from what I see, it seems its voice activated, wonder how it gonna differentiate between the owner's voice and the surrounding. It would be totally funny when the device picks up the conversation of the guy next to you and dialed his wife or god forbid his mother in law or something?

Welp, time to dust off this old topic with this update.

Now, I don't exactly know if it poses a 'threat' to internet freedom, but I felt it appropriate to share here.
