好萊塢要監控網路？Google 顯然這樣認為

http://buzzorange.com/techorange/20...obal-tech-news/

Sony 因為電影《刺殺金正恩》遭到一連串的網路攻擊、駭客威脅，甚至還「意外」洩密了 Snapchat 的秘密文件；一連串的事件，最終讓 Sony 決定取消首映。

同時也因為這次的 Sony 事件，美國電影協會和密西西比州檢察長表示，想要推動變更美國網路審查法的內容。

這一下，讓 Google 火大了！他們認為：好萊塢那群人僅僅因為網路上那些據稱是「Sony 駭客」所流出的資料，就想要更動行之有年的網路審查法，以便限制網路上的言論自由，根本是本末倒置破壞了「網路」精神！

Google accuses Hollywood of 'trying to censor the Internet'
Using information from alleged documents leaked by the Sony hackers, Google said the Motion Picture Association of America and Mississippi's attorney general conspired to limit free speech on the Internet.

Google attacked Hollywood and a state attorney general for attempting to achieve the goals of years-old Internet censorship law.

The search giant said the Motion Picture Association of America, Hollywood's primary lobbying arm, secretly conspired with the attorney general of Mississippi to force changes to the trade of information on the Internet without enacting new laws.

"The MPAA pointed its guns at Google," the company's General Counsel Kent Walker said in a blog post Thursday. He cited emails reported to have come from Sony's top executives by The Verge, detailing an effort to block websites alleged to publish copyrighted material. Walker also said that a letter sent by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood accusing Google of numerous misdeeds was drafted by the MPAA's longtime law firm.

Hood said he had worked with the MPAA but disagreed with Google's assertions. He said he's worked with Internet companies on a wide range of issues, including international counterfeit rings, drug trafficking and child pornography. "We're just saying that if a website has 90 percent illegal material, they shouldn't put them in search results," he said. "We've been working on these issues for years, and Google full well knows that."

Representatives for Google, Sony, the MPAA and its members didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

The move marks a turning point in the ongoing battle over Internet censorship, which led to protests across the Web in 2012. Two bills before the US Congress in particular, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), attempted to target "rogue" websites illegally displaying copyrighted content. But critics said the bills could adversely affect legitimate sites as well. SOPA and PIPA legislation had been thought to have been abandoned by their proponents, but Google's claims indicates it may have been revived.

Google's comments also add to the fallout over the hacking of Sony. For the past two weeks, hackers who broke into the company's computer systems and claimed to have stolen troves of employee information, including executive's emails. Many of those documents have since been released online.

Sony has only confirmed the veracity of a few documents that have surfaced. Others companies, however, are starting to come forward. Snapchat released a statement saying it was "devastated" over the stolen information on Wednesday. Now, Google has criticized Sony, the MPAA and others for their alleged actions, which were revealed in the documents.

Sony hasn't responded to Google's accusations. It also didn't respond to the December 12 report from The Verge about its alleged activities with the MPAA.

一小時前Google對所有GMAIL用戶發出了一份公開信:

Now playing nationwide: #ZombieSOPA!

SOPA is back, Daniel.

In 2012, millions of Americans rose up to help defeat the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The public sent a clear message to Congress: don't censor the web.

Now movie industry lobbyists at the MPAA are trying to resurrect web censorship via a back door. As revealed in the press, they've organized a campaign to achieve SOPA by other means, and are still more than eager to break the way the Internet works to achieve their agenda.

The MPAA was worried this strategy would "invigorate and galvanize ... the SOPA debates." Let's prove them right!

Together we defeated online censorship once—let's do it again. Share this graphic and tell the MPAA to kill the #ZombieSOPA.

08馬這個馬後砲∼

Sony被駭客時沒看到他出來說話，被威脅會在米國的戲院殺你米國人的時候也沒看到他出來說話，Sony影片被各大戲院拒播的時候還是沒看到他出來說話，結果Sony決定不放映時他倒是出來說話了...

他自己似乎還忘記了一件事...
班加西事件美國駐利比亞大使被殺的時候，
白宮跟國務院還有民主黨議員都把責任推到一個名不見經傳的Youtube影片，
白宮勒令Google移除影片,
還叫法務部把製作人抓起來了.

Obama, Who Tried to Censor "Innocence of Muslims" Vid, Says Sony Shouldn't Have Pulled The Interview

以08馬對伊斯蘭教的態度這完全不讓我驚訝,畢竟他已經有以一個米國逃兵換5個塔利班頭頭的記錄了...這一季Homeland的prisoner exchange片段就有一點在隱射這一事件。
