Default The EU on its way to shut mouths

You've most likely heard about the recent suggestion of the EU to criminalize "hate speech".

Continuing in that direction, is this attempt to stifle blogs.

Note on of the people involved is Britain's Labour MEP Glyn Ford. Seen his N. Korea page lately? Note the nice poster on the wall.

Good luck, Europe!

calls on providers in somewhat vague language to make provisions against "hate pages" part of their standard terms and conditions.
When it comes to laws about freedoms or the restriction thereof, vague language is very dangerous.

I don't want to see them enforce laws over the internet. Its one of the last truly free domains. Between the American push to appropriate it for the private sector, and this, I really worry for its future.

"They" (whoever) would have to set up a completly new Net (Web) not compatible with the old. All global electronic comercial traffic (banking, online shopping, internet tv etc) would have to switch to the "new+better+safer+goverment approved" Internet v2.0...
Everybody will get a RFID-"login"-chip under his skin with all his biometrical and other personal data, which also functions as pass, driving license etc.

...ALL in ONE...
