White House bypasses Senate to ink agreement that could allow Chinese [Japanese] companies to demand ISPs remove web content in US with no legal oversight.
http://www.infowars.com/obama-signs-global-internet-treaty-worse-than-sopa/Under the provisions of ACTA, copyright holders will be granted sweeping direct powers to demand ISPs remove material from the Internet on a whim. Whereas ISPs normally are only forced to remove content after a court order, all legal oversight will be abolished, a precedent that will apply globally, rendering the treaty worse in its potential scope for abuse than SOPA or PIPA.
The groups pushing the treaty also want to empower copyright holders with the ability to demand that users who violate intellectual property rights (with no legal process) have their Internet connections terminated, a punishment that could only ever be properly enforced by the creation of an individual Internet ID card for every web user, a system that is already in the works.
26 European Union member states along with the EU itself are set to sign the treaty at a ceremony today in Tokyo.
