More rules and regulations on citizens that are not needed…the internet runs on buyer beware. We cannot force people to give their real age or real weight so the buyer has to beware..its that simple. Instead of the so called justice dept. going after people for fibbing online why don t they go after the illegals who are committing a felony when they use fake or stolen SS numbers. American ex cons cannot get jobs today due to the huge number of illegals, many of whom have criminal records in their home countries, so if an american excon uses a fake ss number and id to get a job he is prosecuted and thrown back into jail while the illegals do it consistently without any prosecution!

If they want to look at terms of service as contracts then it is up to the parties involved, not the federal government, to pursue legal action for any breech of contract.

More “madness”?, OR i fear authoritarianism ,in DISGUISE!!!

All of those responding here are getting very sharp and making great arguments. I’m beginning to think We the People might just have a chance to save our nation.
It’s interesting to note that it’s the issue of a free unfettered internet that is getting our people going.

Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter — by peaceful or revolutionary means — into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.

Your Justice Departments would have to prosecute every computer owner which would make every corporation technically insolvent because EVERY internet user and the staff of EVERY corporation and government departments in EVERY country have been guilty of accepting the Terms & Conditions of all downloads without reading EVERY word and paragrath of the multitude of conditions of the use of downloads without understanding what they are agreeing to because it just takes too long to read the tiny fonts used and most would not understand what is meant even if they read it all. So if your Justice Department wants to get technical it would want to be sure as hell that all the police and justice officials and staff have not committed the same offences they are going to try pinning on everyone else. I’m waiting for the next big case on this very topic. So if the Justice Department and the Judiciary really think they are squeeky clean and wont end up with a muddy scandal…then go right along with your silly plans. Gillysrooms from Australia

The idea of regulating the internet has been brewing for awhile. The real agenda is that the government wants to make money and curb free speech. I believe we the people will not let is happen. Speak up for Free speech don’t let it happen.

They want every critic’s name, address, and bank acoount numbers, so when they get their OWS made official into SS they know who to go after and where to find them.

try this on for size.in the news,whitehouse expresses concerns about recent so-called bullet fired into whitehouse.now if they were to get out the survellience cams they might see an fbi,or cia or?? fire that bullet.i dont know,just saying.since they just love all of us having guns and all,again just saying!!

This country was founded on the principle of liberty. Our founding document was created to limit a central government and avoid the tyranny that the colonists had endured under British rule. So how is it that now the same document can be used to subject us to leftist, totalitarian rule? How is it the same document supports the government control of healthcare? We are witnessing the disappearance of liberty and freedom, and are being told that it is all constitutional. But how can this be? Why, in over 200 years, are we only now learning that the Consitution is a soclialist’s document, giving the general government control over everything? And why is the Supreme Court agreeing with this new interpretation?

Need to get all of they lying damocrats first! Odumba, Holder, Polize, Reid, and all the queers in CON-gress. It is such an unbelieveable crime that our country is being destroyed from within without any shots being fired! The silent majority. Weds to wake up before it’s too late.

Remember “Don’t steal, the government hates competition”? The same goes for politicians. This just puts it in writing. If Holder is the judge of truth then we are all in trouble. Does this mean that the first amendment has been abolished?

This is all just a “smokescreen”, hiding the real agenda …

What they really want is to be able to easily track and identify exactly who a person is, what they are reading and downloading, as well as what they are uploading. They want to be able to track, track, and spy on everyone, everywhere.

The use of pseudonyms, as they see it, amounts to using a bunch of “aliases” which amounts to a crime or the “intent” to commit a crime.

When people use numerous pseudonyms, or different e-mail accounts, or even access the internet through a computer that they do not personally own ( colleges, libraries, friends, etc ) they can’t be sure exactly who is doing what.

So, in true Big Brother fashion, they started, at first by getting people hooked on things like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc, etc, where everyone blabs about themselves, their friends, and what they are all doing on a frequent basis.

We get cellphones with GPS tracking, cars with OnStar tracking, laptop computers that use a fingerprint to sign in, etc, all in the name of convenience, safety, friendship, or whatever other ruse to hide the true agenda.

Even with all of that, they still don’t have a 100% iron-fisted grip on people. So, the next step is an I.D. system for the Internet, just like a Driver’s License, if you will. Falsely identifying yourself to obtain that would be a criminal act. Naturally, breaking the Law gets everyone into the System, too.

Open your eyes and see today’s world for what it really is and what it is rapidly becoming !

I possess recorded testimony of two U.S. Forest Service employees committing perjury at a hearing before the Merit System Protection Board and a false written statement made under oath by a Department of the Interior employee, which was submitted to the Merit System Protection Board. I have copies of original documents used for hiring by the Department of the Interior and copies of what were supposed to be the same documents after they were altered and submitted to other federal agencies. Perjury and obstruction of justice are felonies. The Merit System Protection Board refused to take any action because the administrative judge stated that his agency is not a criminal court. When the perjured document was presented to the FBI, my charge was dismissed because such crimes committed by federal employees are not of interest to it. Two letters of complaint to Attorney General Holder were never answered. The FBI sent a copy of my complaint to the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior, who said that the Merit System Protection Board would take proper action, even though the administrative judge had said that he lacks jurisdiction to do anything about perjury or obstruction of justice. So we have organized criminals with sovereign immunity interested in prosecuting ordinary citizens for lying on the Internet. Let them do so, but let them start with the federal employees who lie every day for a living. How about throwing the politicians who break their promises after they are elected in prison and throwing away the key!

With projects like this underway, I wonder how long it will be before someone figures out a way to legally register and document alternative identities? For sure there are enough people out there already using them, and not all illegal border jumpers, either.

Looks like another way big government and big brother wants to get into our lives and make yet another useless, money sucking department. I’ve known about this issue for months now, and I think it is appalling and have already written my representatives and signed petitions against this tripe.

The very text of this law is very vague, and open to interpretation. It also allows persecution of people posting videos, like, say you are in a park filming and someone is listening to the radio in the background. Well that’s in the background of your video, you are now in violation of the law. Think I’m kidding? They’ve already hauled at least one person into court for copyright infringement because their video picked up background music. The average user is an every day citizen looking to engage in free speech and free expression and can’t afford high end equipment to pick and pull background sounds. This whole law smacks of giving the government and police the ability to censor and terrorize our freedoms. To this whole situation I raise my middle fingers high and say, not without a fight!

How about they investigate creating false documentation on the internet….like birth certificate and such ?

First, screw the ACLU. Second, Comrade Holder still hasn’t found a way to pour piss out of his boots. Third, whoever thought up the idea of an ‘internet fibber’ should probably get immediate psychological therapy. Fourth, I will never understand how America whipped Hitler and his kookoids in WWII, yet we’re up to our necks in fricking NAZIS.

LOL, I would love for any of this to ever see a jury trial. I know our juries are equivalent to a viscious mob on the street looking to hang the nearest person, but the most dim witted, punishing jury will see right through this.

Bring it on.

I wonder if members of CON-gress or the SIN-et will be held to these standards of internet truth telling. Every single one of their official websites is wrought with lies and deception. Oh, wait, my bad, they are walking Gods among us who are authorized to engage in insider trading.

does holder REALLY want to prosecute people who lie….would love to see the video of him handcuffing hisself.i am daily amazed that this whole administration does not burst into flames of the lies the spew from their mouths

This could be a return of the alien and sedition laws of old. But, hey, the American people are so ignorant and uneducated they wouldn’t know it. Where is a Thomas Jefferson when we need him? The leftists, liberals, communists, socialists and neocons (how many names are there for the same evil trash?) have destroyed any concept of liberty or virtue. I mean, freedom is the ability to decide what TV station I want to watch, isn’t it?

Just another diversion for the sheeple to worry about their narcissistic daily lives.

I REFUSE to change how I surf or comment on the internet! Civil disobedience is my right.

Well, about damn time,
finally something more important
for the justice department to work
at than illegal immigration & gun running!
