Just When You Thought It Was
Save To Have Your Own
Domain Blog...Now This!!!!
Hey Guys, don't mean to alarm you about something that hasn't happened to a Gay Blog yet, but something very, very important just came through within one of my Google Groups that I belong to and I thought you should all know about it and it is not GOOD!!! It's not bad enough that we all have to worry about Google Closing down Blogger Blogs, now this......
As part of a new expansion of government power over information, the Department of Homeland Security has begun seizing and shutting down Internet web sites (web domains) without due process or a proper trial. DHS simply seizes web domains that it wants to and posts an ominous "Department of Justice" logo on the web site. See an example at http://torrent-finder.com
Over 75 web sites were seized and shut down last week, and there is no indication that the government will stop such efforts. Right now, their focus is web sites that they claim "violate copyrights," yet the torrent-finder.com website that was seized by DHS contained no copyrighted content whatsoever. It was merely a search engine website that linked to destinations where people could access copyrighted content. Google also links to copyrighted content -- does that mean the feds will soon seize Google, too?

So Guys, take warning and just be very, very careful when posting any copyrighted Photos and/or Videos and/or providing links to download copyrighted material, even those of you that have Blogs on your OWN DOMAIN!!!! And if this isn't bad enough, there doesn't appear to be anyway to submit an appeal, like with Google Blogger!!!

Just a preview of things to come...next all freedom of the press will go...I lived in Cuba over fifty years ago when the government began doing similar things...and look at where the are right now.
But wait, the Repugnant Teahadist Republicans will soon be in charge and then all liberal-progressives will have to either shut down or worry because these people are emboldened by a sense of a mandate they really didn't get.
