Are you protesting the sopa/pipa law?
I originally posting a poll on here about how people felt about congress trying to censor the internet. Well, they're are still trying to get this through with SOPA and PIPA. Many sites like google and flickr are protesting by "blacking out" their sites for the day. I decided to blackout my tumblr for the day, so I could help in the protest.
Apparently, if these "laws" were made legal, corporations could sue users for copyright infringements and they could be sent to jail for 5 years! They, could destroy sites if they fell that they were not properly censoring their content. Sites like twitter or Facebook might be forced to shut down, because they are responsible for the content on their sites. They said that there's also the risk that laws would try to censor other countries around the world. Our economy would go down even more.
There would be no freedom anymore.... I don't agree with this at all. So, my question is are you protesting this ludicrous law or not?
