Internet providers not subject to Broadcasting Act

CBC News - 09 February, 2012

The CRTC and federal government of Canada would like to have official and ultimately, absolute control of the regulation of all internet based material, through which YOU,ME&US sift, at OUR leisure, each & every day.  This latest ruling on the subject appears to represent a blow struck for the supporters of internet freedom, though to be accurate, it really only exempts ISPs from directly incurring the wrath of governing authorities seeking to censor.  The direct and express routes to those found to offend will no doubt be happily provided, with illuminated arrows and blinking buzzers leading the way to the guilty.

WASHINGTON -- A provision in the new 9/11 health bill may be adding insult to injury for people who fell sick after their service in the aftermath of the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, The Huffington Post has learned.

The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list, according to a letter obtained by HuffPost.
