News from Britain: New proposed Digital Bill means three strikes and your out.
I am quite certain that this would NEVER pass in the United States, nevertheless it seems Britain as a government is interested in policing the internet. As I understand it, Britain has a newly appointed -meaning unelected- Business Secretary and it seems he has the political freedom to form any penalties on matters of the internet. If I may be so bold, it seems he is much like an internet Gestapo.
Among many other things, this new law can ban you from the Net after three violations regardless of whether they can prove it or not. The Law also seems to impose a elaborate rating system for video games.
