New internet legislation set to ban Tunngle?

[Mayhem]

Perhaps worse, EFF has detailed how this provision would also decimate the open source software community. Anyone who writes or distributes Virtual Private Network, proxy, privacy or anonymization software would be negatively affected. This includes organizations that are funded by the State Department to create circumvention software to help democratic activists get around authoritarian regimes’ online censorship mechanisms. Ironically, SOPA would not only institute the same practices as these regimes, but would essentially outlaw the tools used by activists to circumvent censorship in countries like Iran and China as well.

[It seems that VPN software, such as Tunngle, could be blocked simply as it offered a potential way to circumvent website blockages. Note: This legislation might be passed in America but would cause global problems]

[frodosam]

Tunngle will be forbidden or what ?

always america that wants to block things -.-

With Wikipedia recently coming out in protest of SOPA and related acts, a lot of congress is backing off that steaming pile of horseshit like it has the ebola virus. I highly doubt it will be passed.

[Lhii]

This has been going on for months. In 2010 our wonderful government tried to pass a similar bill but failed.

This time they tried harder but have failed up to this point.

[John_is_George]

they can keep failing then

uncyclopedia.wikia.com

Imagine a World
Without Lolcats, Bronies, and other complete stupidity
The Uncyclopedia community has authorised a blackout of the English version of Uncyclopedia for 24 hours in protest of the blackout of the English version of Wikipedia. Unlike them, we support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives and the PROTECTIP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate - bills that, if passed, will help purify and secure the currently free and open Internet, once and for all putting an end to the mess of memes and blogs and social networking.

Wikipedia urges you to take action, but today we ask you to not take any action at all.
Let it happen. Allow the Internet to be purified.
