Normally I try to stick to consumer and constitutional rights in this blog, but I found myself moved by a story that I found today coming from Iran. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 2 weeks you would know that the results of the recent Iranian presidential elections has created [...]

Yes, what is going on in Italy is about as frightening as that headline reads. Authorities in Italy have been attacking the internet on multiple fronts as of late with many moves that are eerily intrusive and controlling. First you may be wondering why such a drastic headline.
