lostmemory123 1,056 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Good News: Gay Marriage is now fully a thing. Bad News:TPP got passed. Worse News: That means that most likely the internet is now f*cked for everybody, along with many other things. Even Worse News: THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED TO PASS IT DIDNT EVEN READ THE CRAP THEY WERE PASSING! I dont want to rain on the parade that is full gay marriage, but this is baaaaaaaad. Edit:Heres a video where a guy explains what this does, hed explain it better than I would.

lostmemory123 1,056 Posted June 26, 2015 Anyone care to explain? As far as we know, this little thing gives corporations the power to make laws as they see fit, and that affects alot of things as you can imagine, including the internet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as we know, this little thing gives corporations the power to make laws as they see fit, and that affects alot of things as you can imagine, including the internet, so if this goes through we will see some changes to the internet. But this thing is supposed to be secret to begin with so info is limited to that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything we do know had to be leaked. Alright, so what I gathered from here was, the power you have on the Internet and what you can search and what not, maintaining it legal. And basically they know what you do on the Internet. Seems reasonable enough that you guys got firetrucked up over it passing. Weeeeeeelp! Say goodbye to all your yaoi.....The big bad government is gonna take it away! For all that I care, yaoi could burn in the biggest fireplace, but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to take that away from you. Pretty sure they ain't making porn illegal. 1 Forever reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is though, this doesnt just affect the U.S, its a widespread union from here in the States all the way to Asian countries. This could be a start of something big.

lostmemory123 1,056 Posted June 26, 2015 Wait, TPP... Through the Pacific? Holy shit. This is one of the only times I wish I wasn't american nor japanese. Which is why I honestly wish people would stop talking about the gay marriage thing or the confederate flag problem on news channels or blogs and talk about this, this deal passing can effect millions. This needs to be talked about more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, unless someone with great power there ( I don't know who's in charge for that stuff there, since I'm not American ) solves that shit up, you guys are in for a treat.

lostmemory123 1,056 Posted June 27, 2015 So in other words, they are watching us WHATEVER we are searching on the internet? Am I on the right page? Or am I wrong? What it means is that corporations can now put massive restrictions on the internet as a whole thanks to the huge increase in copyright and trademark laws, as well as corporations doing whatever they want to the masses without any real consequence. In other words WE ARE F*CKED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hargleblargleboo 979 Posted June 27, 2015 Wait, I thought that the TPP only affected worldwide trading policies, but it also affects the internet now? Now I'm even more confused about it... Either way, it is pretty unnerving to think how it'll all turn out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, it is pretty unnerving to think how it'll all turn out. Trust me, the TPP is doing more than just affecting the way we trade, alot more stupid things I might add, but they wont give a full release on this info until its already passed and its too late to fight back. I'm a little confused of this myself. I'm not really an expert on these type of subjects... I think I get the whole internet thing... Ok... So, we are screwed.... But what about this whole Worldwide trading policies? Just know that everything in the TPP is gonna have a negative impact, that is all you need to know.
