This is even worse than SOPA/PIPA because it "targets" everyone's favourite boogeyman, the pedophiles.
SOPA/PIPA gathered support of the people because everyone downloads, but now the same bill got a new coating and instead of targeting "Rogue sites" they're after "pedo nets" Of course, no one in their right mind would fight against such a bill.
This is the most venomous blow I've seen coming from your congressmen, and one that will cost us everything. 1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual.

So much misinformation and overreaction over PIPA and SOPA, yet no one seemed to care when the far shadier ACTA was in the works.
Ah well, herd mentality and whatnot.
As for this thing.. I'm honestly not surprised. They'll use whatever method it takes to upgrade property protection laws.

Unfortunately they've successfully distracted the masses as well so they won't look past the pedophile part.

Ive wrote an entire essay on why "protect the children" is the stupidest thing ever to exist.
Its used as censorship propaganda for everything imaginable. Sure, making child porn is bad, but in all my years of browsing the internet i have not seen one real child porn site ever. I dont intentionaly look for them sure, but even 4CHAN has strict rules against it.
Because of this, i feel this intense desire to stab someone whenever they mention the words "Protecting" and "children" in an argument. Children are not that fragile. There are not rapist sitting outside your door every moment, kept back only by your villigent nature. No, its far more likely the "rapist" has the keys to your house, considering that most of the time, its a close aquantence or family member!
If you want to protect your children, teach them not to be stupid. Tell them to, oh i dont know, not go places with strangers. And just to be safe, teach them the first leason of the internet. Your name must be something like AJ352R1 or something like that, and that anyone that says ASL or asks for your name is going to kill you.
Contrary to popular belief, most small children that are capable of reading are also capable of mental thought. That, and why the heck would you leave a child that small unsupervised on the internet anyway?
The current legislation seems more than capable of keeping child porn off the internet, considering ive never accidentally seen in it over 7 years of browsing it. And i have seen a LOT of things accidentally over these years.

Quote from Kollin;743666:
Just out of curiosity: Would shota/loli be considered child pornography even though it is completely fictional? Never really looked into that as I had assumed people were smart enough to tell the difference, but that was stupid on my part.
Usually, yes it is. Just a few years ago a woman was arrested for posting a story online about having sex with an underage boy and was arrested. Not even a drawing, a story. At the very LEAST it gives them the grounds to search everything you own and monitor everything you do for even a tiny trace of child porn at which point they can arrest you and get you an even worse sentence because of your "record".

More examples of people with political power who don't use the internet like us and don't get how things actually work go about and try to make rules and laws for it.

under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and estate; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens. In some cases, Locke deemed revolution an obligation. The right of revolution thus essentially acted as a safeguard against tyranny.

Then they don't get to control everything and dictate what people do.
