Well, here we are facing another set of bills that threaten our internet as we know it. Reading up on the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act), I realized that while these bills are backed by good intentions, there are definitely flaws in them that need to be addressed. If passed, we might enter a PG digital world.
In protest to this, websites such as Google, Reddit, Wikipedia, and SSG Music are having an Internet Blackout. It is their way of getting the point across that we don't want a world without free knowledge and opinions. This is causing widespread internet mayhem. Twitter accounts are filled with profanity and rage today, as many think the bills have already passed. I am here to say they haven't, and if you would like to say something about it, find a website to do so. Read the facts of these acts first and make your decisions based on both sides of the story. Here is a link to a list of websites on strike today.
