Wasn't the proposal withdrawn?

It's almost as if they want the economy to go to even more.
I have no understanding of why this passed, what good it will do, and how they are actually allowed to do this.
In talking to a good friend of mine, who is pro-big government actually, we discussed how another revolution is going to happen soon. Maybe this will be the last straw and the people will finally tell the government to mind their own fucking business.

That's what it's looking like. These new internet laws will basically be the end of the internet in the US. Not even ISP's will have control over the content that they can show, as it'll all be down to individual corporations and the government.

Never mind, thought the petition had worked

Honestly, when do they ever?

I always thought the second amendment would be the first to go. Then that would lead to the rest going bye, bye. Didn't ever think it would be the fucking first.

It almost did, but wasn't enough. These blackouts should work though. Like the original article states, phone companies wont be able to deal with the amount of traffic that goes through which will cause even more problems.

The news tomorrow will be interesting to watch.

That was it's original intention, but now what it was worded to be. SOPA and PIPA basically give all control of the internet over to big corporations and the government.

Read it while you can before Wiki goes down.
PROTECT IP Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stop Online Piracy Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This shit is literally going so far, that even Ted Stevens is turning in his fiery grave.

This is nothing new, read George Seldes, Howard Zinn, and Bertrand Russel, they make basicaly the same arguments. Only the type of media has changed.

Yeah, it's nothing new, except this time the government is deathly close to passing these laws.

Bye, bye senator Casey. Not that I even voted for you in the first place.
