“While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.”
- The White House, responding this morning to a petition on SOPA and online piracy
Is that in the same way the administration also said it would not support any legislation that would suppress the legal rights of an individual or organisation whilst also signing the NDAA through with the most watered down and toothless caveats the republicans (who are somehow actually running the country) would let through? Just so we’re clear on things.
