To be honest, I’m starting to hope for some really big obvious draconian over-step by one of these big businesses.

Not big, draconian and obvious to the standard of “internet commenters go NUTS” or even “anyone of reasonable intelligence can see it’s too far”, more like “everyone with a pulse and more than a quarter of a brain stem are outraged, because Company X is interfering with their internets”.

I don’t know… say if Murdoch bought out a major ISP and blocked out competing news channels, or Facebook or Youtube. Something that even the lowest common denominator of internet user would notice and get angry about.

Why would I hope for that? Because then we might finally see something get done about it. So long as they take the quiet creeping route of slowly eroding at rights, freedoms and laws, they get away with it because it mostly gets shrugged off as “just something those net-tards are getting jumped up about”. Here’s hoping they take a step too far, anger the mbumes, and can be pushed back to where they ought to be.
