Finally...a legislative breakthrough

The U.S. Patriot Act (section 215) has finally found its match. The Freedom to Read Act has been passed by the House of Representatives and exempts "libraries and bookstores from searches". This is a milestone for censorship because there was never such a push for violating privacy. The new Freedom to Read Act cuts the funding for these searches that, before, went without protest. The vote was 238 to 187 in favor of it, so hooray to those legislatures who see the negative repercussions of censorship. Although the battle is still a very long way from being completely solved, which it probably never will be, at least this is a step in the right direction.
