I really don't like that.

Even if it will get dismissed/amended so it doesn't ruin open and private internet, the direction it's all going really worries me. Every couple of months/years you will hear that the governments are trying again and again...Eventually they will succeed - enter "1984"

The governments don't even need to go that far, they just get the data directly from the corporations people just willingly divulge it to.
