Another word for "this is for your own protection".

The Governments negotiating ACTA seem to be planning to https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2009/02/actual-acta-draft-leaks-noncommercial-p2p-could-get-criminal-penalties/ make file sharing sites a crime. And they refuse to tell citizens what they are doing.

This is the standard procedure by which governments use trade treaties to attack their citizens. First they draw up a treaty by which they all promise to do so. Then they say, "We have to agree to every provision of we won't get the business benefit of the treaty." Then people surrender their freedom.

The whole scheme is evil from the first step to the last. It is a sign of a government that is a toady for business, and the enemy of its own citizens.
