UK Minister says website blocking proposals “imminent”

[CitizenSmif]

The British government is about to unveil proposals to block the Internet for copyright enforcement purposes. The confirmation came in a Parliamentary debate yesterday on Intellectual Property, in which pro-copyright MPs had a little ‘chit-chat’ about the allegedly ‘anti-copyright’ government, and indicated their desire for the activation of the Digital Economy Act.

The Minister of State for Business, Mark Prisk, said that an announcement on website blocking for copyright enforcement is "imminent". He did not give any detail, but did hint that the proposals would be ‘welcome’.

Somehow I doubt there will be riots over web-blocking.

Her headline is also misleading - he said that an announcement is imminent, not the actual legislation. Also, I see the idiot supporting it is an SNP member. Another reason for supporting Scottish independence, then. The sooner we can get Scottish MPs out of Westminster, the better.

If people in the UK will tolerate massive video surveillance, why won't they tolerate website blocking? They're bigger sheep than Americans.

Actually you should see Scottish Labour, Conservatives and Liberals. You will understand why the SNP just becomes the least worst even if you don't support independence.
