Yup, greedy companies are trying to take over / censor the internet for there own profit at our expense... again
Since I'm sure people don't want to read a long journal explaining this here's a link to a petition specking out against these company's www.fightforthefuture.org/2016… with a short explanason for those who ar'nt aware of what's going on below, If you sign the petition please help spreed the word so more people can sign the petition
Tech experts from every major advocacy group working to defend Internet users’ rights vehemently oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, but a trade association that represents major web companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, and Uber just endorsed it. The TPP was negotiated in complete secrecy by government bureaucrats and corporate lobbyists from industries that hate the Internet–– including the ones that wrote terrible censorship bills like SOPA . It’s great for incumbent corporations, but terrible for individual internet users, startups, and the tech economy as a whole. The TPP would: Expand draconian copyright enforcement, undermining our privacy and the public domain without ensuring protections for free speech; Criminalize common practices like tinkering with or modifying devices, even for fair use purposes; Enable multi-national corporations to skirt the democratic process and use shadowy international tribunals to undermine Web users’ rights; Set a precedent that will encourage anti-Internet lobbyists like the ones who wrote SOPA to use trade agreements to push for bad Internet policy. There are powerful interests pushing to get the TPP passed through U.S. Congress, and it seems like they managed to pull a fast one on these Internet companies and get them to take a position that goes directly against their own interests and the interests of their users. Congress could vote on the TPP within a matter of weeks, and they’ll be watching closely how the public reacts to these companies’ statement. If enough of us speak out, we can get these companies to drop their support for this dangerous agreement, and stand up for the rights of their users and the future of the Internet we all love. Please sign the petition and share this widely right now.
again a link to that petition is www.fightforthefuture.org/2016…
a more detailed explanason can be found on the petition page in case your hesitate to sign it right away, but I urge people to at least visit the petition page and read up a bit more on this. As if the TPP go's thew the internet as we know it will be in grave danger of being destroyed!

Internet in danger!
The USA is currently trying to push multiple bills that is passed could practically destroy the internet as we know it and doom sites like DA, making encryption iligol, invoking mass internet censorship, and gutting privacy and secruaty protections. For more info and to find out how you can help speck out against these bills see: https://www.badinternetbills.com/ as US congress is hoping to get meany of these bills passed into law before august.
Stop the SMART Copyright Act! [AKA SOPA 2022]
The following quoted text from: Fight for the Future's https://www.nocensorshipfilter.com/index.html event campaign website to stop this Bill. This bill was made by the same people who made SOPA, and pretty much just as bad. URGENT: Congress is trying to sneak through copyright censorship filters Anyone who creates content or streams online knows that copyright laws are broken and regularly abused. We get frivolous DMCA takedown notices, accounts suspended without warning, and videos demonetized—often without transparency or recourse. Now, politicians are trying to sneak through the so-called “SMART Copyright Act,” a bill that would make all of this way worse by mandating automated censorship filters at nearly every layer of the Internet, from ISPs to streaming platforms. This won’t help artists or creators, it will just wreak havoc on free expression and line the pockets of companies like Disney and Amazon. [Fight for the Future has] heard Congress is hoping to slip this
Today is Antitrust Day.
Source: the EFF We live in a world that increasingly requires us to be online. The promise of all this technology was that barriers would be lowered, allowing more people to exercise their rights—especially rights related to speech. For those who work in securing rights for others, activists and journalists, for example, this has been an invaluable change. However, that promise has been broken by the rise of a few unassailable companies. No longer does something replace Facebook the way Facebook replaced MySpace. Instead, Facebook buys Instagram and WhatsApp to prevent being replaced. And then being on Facebook stops being a choice, but a requirement for communicating with some segments of the population. It’s difficult to leave if those people are your friends and family, but it’s impossible if you are a small business who needs to reach a certain group of people. If you can’t be found by a Google search, you might as well not exist. And if your app can’t get into an
DA what the heck are you doing!?
DA, why the !^(% did you change the classic DA green theme to look almost identacol to the wite theme? Is this a glitch that will be fixed soon or is whoever is making the decisions reely that stupid as to think annoying those who used the green theme is a good idea, especially when there are now DA alternatives like sheezy.art/ not to mencon up and coming sites like @ArtSpacious & @ArtRi-se EDIT: Looks like it was just the tipacol DA incompetence witch has since been fixed. EDIT2: Removed the link to BuzzyArt in response to some shady stuff the site owner/mod's have been engaging in.

And idiots only get worried if their fanarts and cosplays are going to continue to be legal or not, when the TPP is about more important things and not only fanarts.
