[edit] I don't understand this! (Posted by unsigned users)

I don't understand this! Surely in 10 years someone would have noticed, but people are using that standard disclaimer everywhere! I was even going to put it on my master password list, but now I see that it means nothing. Is there any other disclaimer we can still use (legitimately) to enjoy the privacy given to us from the universe? Or did Bush rape and pillage that "freedom" in favour of his ugly, ominous version of "freedom" when he passed the "Patriot Act."

I guess he must have been too busy playing wargames i.e Civilization II on the PC when his 'advisors' said it would be a good idea. "OK, he says, but let me pause this game first, after all, I am a war president. Didn't you see that video? And what is this all about Internet Privacy," he adds, "I don't know much about it but it looks like a tool for the evil thugs out there to spread their evil, uhh, prop...prop..propra.. thoughts around the world. Therefore we must regulate the Internet and take their freedom away.

After all, it's what we've always wanted, and stood for, FREEDOM. God bless America." He just doesn't want to see us come up!

Agreed.

Please read the article - Bush has nothing to do with it - the act never existed in the first place. When you put something on the internet you are making it public. You want to keep it private for your own crooked purposes then don't publish it. Why should every kiddie porn seller, Nazi propogandist or plain ol' consumer fraudster be allowed to get away with anti-social activities because of some myth of freedom?

What is most surprising is that this is used by non-US websites. How thaty think an American laww waould apply outside the US ... ?

[edit] FUNimation Tid-bit

For simple proof of this, I invite anyone to perform the google query, "internet privacy act + dbz". I guarentee a return of no less than 220,000 results.Evilgohan2 04:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I did the ("internet privacy act + dbz"), zero hits. Then I did ("internet privacy act" and dbz), imho the correct syntax, resulting in approx. 700 hits. Even (internet privacy act + dbz) and (internet privacy act and dbz) resulted in only approx. 150000 hits each. What does this proof? I got too much time ;-)

[edit] Formally?

Should be "formerly," shouldn't it? Recalcitrancy 16:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Search Engines?

From my understanding of at least Google, and the way that it does search results, the sentence "Using this and other such "disclaimers" would actually make it easier for such a site to be found via the major search engines." should probably removed, unless Yahoo and MSN still rely so heavily on page text. It just seems like out of date information.
