Solve : SOPA-like legislation coming to Ireland?

Answer»

Looks LIKE, for some strange reason, the Irish government is trying to put legislation similar to SOPA in place. What's worse is is will be done by ministerial order, which won't even require voting on.

Anyone have an EMAIL address so I can contact Anonymous?


Might as well ask ye all to sign the petition seeing as I signed the petition to stop the US bill being passed: http://stopsopaireland.com/Well, #OpIreland and #SopaIreland is now trending on Twitter, with Anonymous saying they will take action.The Irish Department of Justice website was just taken offline.

http://www.justice.ieGoogle and a lot of other tech companies have a strong presence in Ireland. Be interesting to see how that turns out.That's why I can't figure out why they're so interested in passing it so quick.They passed no smoking laws in Ireland pretty quickly...Quote from: patio on January 26, 2012, 08:27:46 AM

They passed no smoking laws in Ireland pretty quickly...
Yes, but that was a law which was looked for with quite a long time. Once they STARTED the actual process of amending the law, it didn't take long. But his SOPA-like crap just appeared out of nowhere.

And it won't be passed easily. NEARLY 50,000 signatures in 2 days.I have many cousins there and none of them RECALL the smoking agenda being discussed for any great length of time...

Perhaps it was done that way behind closed doors...much like SOPA...
