The petition is not one that I made on my own. The picture to me is skeptical, it may very well be horse shit.
The only thing that I found viable about this is that Google.com is promoting this information, as it can be found on their website.
I highly doubt www.google.com would just lol make something like this.
When I discovered this, I didn't want others to feel ignorant so I decided to copy paste the information to you guys, from exactly what I saw.
Putting the picture was a major mistake, it INSTANTLY deknowns the entire aspect.
Sorry if this inconvienced any of you.
75% of all Americans believe every bullshit they read.
You need to understand the internet better and figure out that it's impossible to censor it.

Pretty much all that needs to be said. There's no way they can censor Billions of websites, and monitor everyone's activities on the internet.
The intended result, when speaking of Internet Censorship, is making the platform for the web the same as television.
You want youtube? $2/mo
Gmail? Free*
News? $0.55/mo
Hulu? $1/mo
It would be an Internet where we don't get to create a website in our basement and make it available to the world, you have to pay for DNS hosting and domains are regulated to the T. It's not possible? You're deluded.

Silly thing to say because no one owns the internet.
You already pay for your internet provides which loans you access to the internet. What happens on the internet is non of any country's government business. They don't own it. No one does.
So if anyone decides to claim the internet unrightfully and start to make us pay for it, is like taking away the sun and people have to pay you for a little bit of sun.
Nicknero, go fuck yourself.
To be honest the Internet doesn't really belong to everyone, it belongs to the corporate business men who keep it running and they belong to the Governments in which they're situated. By this I mean they have to follow the laws set forth by the Government and that's the same with all businesses from McDonald's to your local supermarket. Even websites like The Pirate Bay still rely on big business to interconnect them across the world, did you really think that everyone just jumps onto the internet free of charge completely on their own? Even the website builder in his basement is still relying on other people to give him access to the internet, on top of this you do already have to pay to use the internet and your internet can be restricted from you if you abuse it.
This idea that the Internet is a free haven that the government had no control over is complete bullshit. Any major organizations have to follow the laws of their land and the Government can control this in anyway they want, especially if a business is damaging their country in anyway. BUT on the bright side its not all doom and gloom, luckily the internet is one of the largest contributes to economy in the western world and the benefits that come with being interconnected are limitless. So for this reason the Governments are never going to suppress your internet, but it is still in their right to make sure that the Internet is not an illegal place that is damaging to its people, its business, or its foreign affairs.
I don't see why all of you assume the worst of your governments or that every time the Internet and the words Government are bought into the same sentence you all go batshit crazy. Yeah, in some countries where the government isn't so good and they don't want people to get any ideas they might censor it, but in America and England and the rest of Europe the only censoring they do end up doing is for the best intentions, not just to piss gamers off. The world is slightly larger than you trying to get things for free (which is what I assume you are worried about loosing). Try to think what people have been doing for generation before you, you know, buying things and stuff?
