US Government in war on the Internet

Reply Subscribe
The US government has started an all out war on the Internet on Tuesday when they had seizure warrnats issued to freeze bank accounts of various payment processors. Among the hardest hit in the seizure was online poker, Craigslist, Priceline, and iTunes.

:1orglaugh

Government officials pointed to the dangers that these sites present to children as their reason for securing the seizure warrants. At a time when the economy is already struggling, and the government spending billions of dollars in bailouts. they needed a way to make back some of that money, and they felt seizing it from succesful companies was the way to go.

Check out the PPA website and get active if you would like to see online poker regulated and taxed legally. Why the gov. would go after Priceline is really beyond my comprehension.
