SOPA lies and internet regulation
Is google about to make a huge mistake?
Over the last few months Google has been quietly and allegedly terminating accounts, suspending ad words accounts, and doing so in a way that might actually be illegal?
Who would do something like that more so if your a company that says do no evil?
One thing may be about to change and it is something that you should be very aware about.
In so many ways, big corporate business is strangling the life out of the internet.
They are forcefully creating a situation where only large companies with more money to spend on advertising can be successful.
This is wrong…
When only large corporations are afforded the ability to advertise and the regular public as well as small business (mom and pop) business are excluded this is wrong.
In so many ways, allegedly google has done more evil than anyone even realizes, (allegedly)

FTC and internet disclosure
How much is enough and how much is too much…
The FTC would like to impose additional guides for online advertisers, which could lead to an equal protection challenge, is this the real direction that Washington wants to go?
I would hope to see equal protection for all consumers, both online and offline deceptive, advertisements on TV can be seen that promote subliminal methods of advertising, however it appears that enforcement may be an issue if disclosure is not required for all advertisers, not just internet advertisers, clear and conspicuous disclosure must apply to all advertisers, equally, including enforcement of the same standards.
I would hope that before such measures are taken to protect consumers online that there could be some measure of protection afforded the millions and millions of television viewers every day on cable TV, including loud and offensive commercials, that make use of excessive loudness and depict impossibly large food items, graphics and pictures, of pizza that are over 24 inches in diameter, yet, when the consumer goes to purchase the product, the actual product is often less than 12 inches with substantially less product and toppings.
Is this not deceptive advertising?
Another example is the 24 inch hamburger, that is shown in many fast food television commercials. Consumers may understand at some level that they are not going to actually get what they are seeing on that large screen, however, is it not deceptive to show such large depictions of food?
What about the psychological considerations of showing overly large food items on video commercials, in broadcast television?
The human Subconscious, is highly susceptible to conditioning, in video advertising, will the FTC begin to require clear and conspicuous disclosure for all forms of advertising,with such a large percentage of Americans now falling into the obese category, do we not have the duty to protect all consumers from messages that these types of commercials send to the consuming public?
I would like to understand the concern that is being directed at online advertisers and yet have no such precautions for protecting consumers that are exposed to deceptive video advertising, that use highly technical and sophisticated subliminal advertising methods, frame rates in excess of 120 frames per second often with highly suggestive use of graphics in video content, these things should be the concern of a highly motivated organization such as the FTC.
I would be in favor for such additional measures to protect consumers, if all broadcast media were also subject to the same disclosure requirements as what is currently being proposed for online advertising content, does it not make more sense to provide a safe experience for all consumers?
Clear and conspicuous, disclosures for Television Advertising must also apply to broadcast and be enforced not just applied to online advertisers.
It appears that what is proposed for online users is not being proposed for traditional media advertising, this is a real concern and should be examined as to why such provisions are not being equally examined.
These questions should be carefully considered and answered before we even consider the idea of proposing such disclosure and legal requirements for online advertisers.
Should we not apply the same protection for all consumers? Can we apply one set of guides for the internet yet ignore clearly deceptive advertising for broadcast advertisers, the same level of enforcement must be applied to both online
My question and concern, is will such disclosures be required of all commercial producers, Radio, Television, Cable, Internet.
If no such disclosure notices are proposed for broadcast advertisers, then this is something that is a serious issue and concern.
How can we not protect all consumers with the same passion and the same level of protection as the FTC guides propose for online consumers?
Should we not extend equal protection of all consumers? To apply, an unequal burden for online advertisers without providing equal enforcement for all advertisers. This is a question that we must answer before we consider these additional disclosure guides.

the Weiner Rant?
Where do we draw the line between what is considered socially acceptable and what is considered in poor taste and when does it become a matter for criminal prosecution?
When emotional issues or perhaps allegedly even bipolar issues keep a man from doing his or her job should they not get some help, this kind of thing is just not what the people expect from its leadership.
When you look at this kind of behavior, you have to wonder about the kind of alleged, idiots, that are getting elected.
