Hillary Clinton has called for control of the Internet. Early on, she told the press the Internet needs "editing" and "gate keeping." More recently, she co-sponsored the so-called "net neutrality" bill which, if passed would give the federal government control over the Internet.

First the internet is global, she can try to write laws on it but its purpose will be to eradicate you and I from voicing our opinion.
The first thing socialists do is control the media and shut down any outlets that disagree with socialism.
We are targets and if we are not ever vigilant as you have been they will destroy us.
America stood up to congress on the amnesty travesty, just yesterday due to a large vocal response OSHA put off the regulation that will in essence eliminate your ability to reload ammuntion and perhaps even purchase it. The socialists, in this case it was Dodd and hillary, will use any means to disarm the citizens, they are preparing to push forward and they need to do this now so we cannot defend ourselves and our constitution.
You are aware that as a citizen of this great country it is OUR responsibility to defend the constitution from a tyrannical congress, and that is why we have the second amendment.

the government created the internet then it went public so yes the government can do whatever they want there was a bill a couple months back that has been shelved for now that you would have to pay to access facebook and email and get fined 5 years for every video posted of you singing or playing someone elses song and i think they were gonna get rid of twitter or something but hopefully our internet rights remain the same as is but so many abuse it with crime and porno and stuff which is sad I think they should monitor it so that stuff is reduced and stuff

No, if they did, we would get government control of our freedom of speech, pay more tariffs, and taxes to use the internet. They would be watching every thing we did, in using the Net, and booted off-line if we didn't do as they pleased. Yahoo! already does that. Do we need another group, we're fighting against anyway, who doesn't even listen to American wants? We already have Yahoo who is doing this to us, why would we need two?

1) I doubt if anyone CAN control the Internet. Content can (& does) come from all over the world. There are a lot of countries that have differing ideas of what is right.
2) What Hillary is talking abouy is the evisceration of the 1st amendment.

Then I better not be paying anything a month for it. Why does the government need to have their hands in everything we do.
I really dislike all politicians, democrat and republican a like, both parties do not even know what the needs of the people are.

Absolutely not. Is America competing with China and Saudi Arabia for censorship now? The Internet is the last bastion of free speech that you have.

Actually, it would be rather funny to try and watch the Government attempt to "control" the Internet.
