UIGEA - Provisions For Website Blocking
Under the terms surrounding Internet Computer Services (ICS's), the Attorney General of the United States has almost unrestricted supremacy to confiscate websites he or she deems are breaching the UIGEA.
While the ICS has the right of advance warning and chance to appear, it is hazy on where specifically they can "appear" and there is no remark in the Act of the technical precautions afforded to the website operator, who's company is ready to be extinguished without the Due Process guaranteed by law.
If this were not bad enough, under the UIGEA, the US government is permitted to breach Free Speech rights through compulsory restriction. The US government can make ICS's shutdown a website with no warning to the owner, hence denying their right to make an objection.
The prospective for breach of laws under the UIGEA is overwhelming. The Attorney General can shut down a website for logic he or she wants, yet on an urge.
Specified that the Internet has been called "the most participatory style of mass speech yet developed" by the Supreme Court of United States, it seems that Congress has determined to pay no attention towards Free Speech rights by denying notice and right to be considered, even as the Court has provided it so much security.
