Do not take my word for it but I am sure admin and mods would be okay with this. Reason being, some of the issues you referenced WILL have a direct effect on some members lively hood.
I will say that when I first heard about what your talking about in regards to review style sites they said it was more geared towards "BIG PLAYERS" and not the little guy bloggers.
I saw this on CNBC Street Signs about 2 weeks or so ago.
Also there is the Issue of internet neutrality. I have heard all kinds of things.
For example, They intend to make it so you would have to pay for access to a certain number of sites. Much like cable and their "tier" packages.
Example: For $30 You get google, yahoo, msn, some other authority sites ect...
For $50 you would get the above plus some others.
Well you get the idea.
I have heard this would take place in 2012.
Again, I have heard all kinds of horror stories in regards to the internet and censorship. I have NOT jumped into the subject enough to put my REP on the line and back some of this stuff.
BUT I plan to.
Needless to say, It does worry me. Good Bye IM if this shit happens.
I have almost posted several times in regards to both of the things I mentioned. So thanks and good post.
If any other B-hatters are well informed about any of the above I encourage you to post.
