This could set a dangerous precedent.Congress should be deciding something like this and not 5 members of the FCC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 This could have positive and/or negative repercussions, it's too early to tell. However, people need not be all alarmist and think that the government all of a sudden is going to restrict what you can and cannot access like the Great Firewall of China. This measure, in practice, does very little.However, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this is thrown out by the sheer number of court challenges it could face.
