We all know Barack Obama won’t lift a finger, but we should be mindful for Congressional action, at the very least.

The Euros are already actively censoring the Internet, at least for firms in Europe, with their “right to be forgotten” which they now want to expand globally. Global Internet censorship.

And as if that’s not enough, they want to break up American companies like Google now and yup, it’s entirely up to the Republican-run House to stop it, since the Democrat leadership won’t do diddly to stand up for liberty.
