Ucci, ucci I smell Gabriella Carlucci

The Carlucci law and the control of the Internet
legge_Carlucci.jpg
After Levi, Cassinelli, and D'Alia now even Gabriella Carlucci has arrived. The Internet has to be put under control with every law, with every parliamentary human reject. The choice of who has to do the draft law is not casual. The less they know about the Internet, the better it is. If they know nothing at all, even better. In fact, if it’s possible to have a discussion with someone who is well informed, to do so with an idiot is not advisable. Anyone observing from outside sees two idiots talking nonsense.
Every week there’s a new attempt to gag, to normalize, to make the Internet go away. And every week, we have to contradict, explain, demonstrate, compare and denounce. Excuse the vulgarities, but this lot have broken my balls. Italy has millions of unemployed and our golden employees are worrying about applying censorship to the only information medium that exists. Paid by us, with laws that can neither stay in the sky or on the earth. Gabry, the least intelligent of the Carlucci sisters which is why she was elected to the PDL, wants to prevent anyone from putting content on the Internet anonymously in any format. Do we have to discuss with this mass of few neurons and cellulite? With D'Alia who wants to close down the sites on the authority of the Minister of the Interior for presumed crimes without a judgement of the magistracy? With Ms Carlucci who is dealing with the interests of the corporations? With a fellow nanotelevisual government page with Mediaset that landslides onto her day after day? With Confalonieri who is citing YouTube for 500 million Euro?
Anyone who writes on a wall cannot be traced. Anyone who writes on the Internet is almost always traceable. His IP address is. In most cases the Postal Police can identify it. This lot are delirious. The Pisanu law is asking for an ID card from anyone who is connecting in Wi-Fi. In the parks of New York, London, Paris, and Madrid you can connect to Wi-Fi networks from a park bench or while you are lying on the grass. We are the only nation in the world that has managed to invert Internet access. No one has been capable of doing that much. Not even China or Burma. The number of families that are connected in Italy has gone down last year. ADSL does not get to thousands of towns or if it’s there its speed is like that of dial up. We have invested billions in digital terrestrial, a dead technology, instead of getting widespread use of the Internet in the schools and in the public administration.
If these laws get passed, I will turn to Europe and denounce them for violation of civil rights. I will not stop. They will not stop us.
They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we.

Gabriella Carlucci and the draft on a new law about funding
people working in the cultural field (Theatre,
Music,Opera etc.etc.).
My idea may sound strange: Why not open a phone line where the Italians can donate 1 or 2 euros
(as we have done for Abruzzo recently) for a fund
towards the arts in general? Of course there should be a commitee managing the incoming money!
This way the public will be certain that the money
will go to the proper people...
Thank you for your attention.

I wonder whether it is really about the state losing control. Maybe the state doesn't actually give a ....

I don't live in Italy but I grew up there for 19 years of my life, and have suffered the worst racism and mistreatment than any other european country. It hasn't changed since then, and it makes me sad, because I would go back there to live. I find that even the young generations are not progressing. "Life is too comfy"

I am not saying that were I live at the moment it's a paradise, but freedom of expression is given to anybody anywhere.
I am student and a self employed, my lectures are on podcasts, and my work comes through my e-mail. Should I be denied internet, I would loose my right to work and education. (Arts 23 and 26 of the Human Rights Declaration)

Did anybody in the government think about this, and about people who might be in my same situation in Italy?

It's very sad Elisa but unfortunately emblematic of where Italy is going at the moment.

The state is losing control of the cities and streets. Robbery, rape and general lawlessness abounds.

For example people now think its fine to piss in the main streets of Milan. Walk up Viale Monza on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and have a look.

Drug dealers have free reign of the cities.

Paying your tax is optional.

What do the government do? Try to limit access to the internet.

Talk about china. Well at least they don’t pretend to be what they are not. False promises and lies is what we have had from the Italian government. As long as they have their “Auto Blu” and cheap haircuts, free meals, cut price flights with Alitalia and so on then all is good.

I believe it is a breach of civil rights, and above all, a breach of freedom of expression and right to information.

You should fight it, the whole Italian population should and bring to Europe, where hopefully there's a bit more common sense in parliament.

Anyway,is she scared that we're all going to write bad reviews about her???

Technology is advancing and Italy is retreating....how sad is that!
