  on Canadian Cyberbullying Bill Expands Scope, Targets Open WiFi Over Terrorism, Child Porn Fears

  Wow, I guess that means the end of free WiFi from hotels, coffee shops, libraries etc. Hell, even the government of the province of Saskatchewan has free open WiFi in the downtown area of some of the larger cities. So the provincial governments will now be breaking federal law. This could be fun!

  on UK Politician Speaks Out Against The Travesty Of Trying To Deport Richard O'Dwyer To Feed Hollywood's Anger

  I just searched for "illegal content" on Google. They are now guilty of conspiracy to defraud.
  
  Microsoft.... unless you send me $1,000,000 in small unmarked bills within 24 hours, I will do the same search on Bing, making you guilty as well. Pay up or else!

  Not sure if I'd pay to watch it or just download it though!
