Barack Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" has advocated a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period.
WOW. If that isn't censorship and anti-freespeech I don't know what is. What if someone told you that you couldn't protest until you had a 24-hour cooling off period? What if the post office wouldn't take an angry (political opposition) letter?
Here is the best part though:
Sunstein also has argued in his prolific literary works that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.
"A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government,"
Oh no! Limitless individual choices!!! Isn't that freedom of speech? Limitless choices to form YOUR OWN OPINION!
