They wanted their servants to keep them safe :)
This is actually a very good comment on democracy. "If you want to stay safe, don't rely on your servants to keep you safe." -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

The legislation will not be television. Shjte, it won't even be published - it's so classified, not even the president is allowed to read it. First they came for the govmint, and I said nothing. Next they came for the currency, and I said nothing. Then they came for our freedoms, one by one, and each time I said nothing. At hurricane Katrina they roamed the suburbs and demanded the guns, and every house handed over at least one gun, rather loudly proclaiming "you can take my gun from my warm and very much alive fingers since I never had a real spine anyway". Then they came for me... Paraphrasing 'Atlas Shrugged'.

These firms' entire business is in content inspection of one form or another plus traffic analysis of one form or another and making decisions on what they find in content or in relationships and so forth and so on, so making them incrementally responsible for what they find or could find is logical and directly so to lawmakers. Harvard Law professor Jonathan Zittrain famously noted that if you use online services that are free, "You are not the customer, you are the product." Why? Because what is observable is observed, what is observed is sold, and users are always observable, even when they are anonymous. If I were a lawmaker, I'd follow that logic just as they have. No, I don't like it, either. --dan
