Bill Clinton Wants to Put "Big Brother" in Your Computer
Bill Clinton believes in bureaucratic micro-management of the information economy.
Within his first 100 days as President, Bill Clinton proposed the Clipper Chip -- a secret government-controlled encryption algorithm -- and a companion key escrow system where two government agencies would hold a copy of the keys for every Clipper user. Since then Bill Clinton has released updated versions of encryption proposals which insist that the government hold a key to individual's private data communications.
The Clinton Administration's Internet Task Force has proposed legislation that would reduce the rights of users of copyrighted material if that information is used on the Internet. Their infamous "NII White Paper" ignored important court decisions which balance the rights of information users with those of information creators.
Bob Dole Will Protect the Constitutional Liberty of Internet Users...

#6I actually remember watching Dole awkwardly calling out his "homepage" during a debate. For some reason I remember it as www.bobdole.com, which would have been an improvement over the real, mumbled thing:

...as for that election, the RNC basically just gave it to Clinton, allowing Kodos a chance to pretend to run for president as a reward for his decades of service in running for other elections. As it turns out, they should have gotten a relatively young Donald Trump to run.
Dole went on to be a prominent supporter of penis pills.

It's amazing when a candidate from 1996 sounds more reasonable on tech issues than most of the modern candidates.

Yet looping animated GIFs are more popular than ever today...

Why would it seem amazing? To borrow an expression from cstross, the legislasaurus has woken up and smelled the roses. The legal/political class is now well aware of the importance of the digital frontier, which is full of terrorists/pedophiles and won't you please think of the children?!!!1one

You'd like to believe that things would move forward over time. I mean, as much as we love to hate on things, we have come a long way even in just the past 100 years.
But progress seems to be more of a buzzword than anything substantial most of the time.
