This Censorship is Unconscienable!

[solara]

Senators/congressmen seem more worried about politic bickering than working togheter to focus on such "secondary" things as enemployment, public health, education and economic growth. What makes you think that if the screams of the unenployed and sick don't reach their ears, the pleas of nerds that want to share art/music/video/games will reach them?

Combine forces. Occupy the Internet.

Wait, this seems a little backwards.

Combine forces. Occupy reality?

If it hits enough publicity to go mainstream they might take a step back. Thats about it though.

Should we try to get Anonymous on our side since we're at it?

Heh. I have a feeling Anonymous will show up if it feels like it, without regard to what anyone else tries to get them to do. Plus, depending on WHICH Anon you mean, well, they might just go against internet freedom b/c they think its lulzier. It's like trying to herd pigeons of death that have shoop-da-whoop lazer beams.

4chan is already one of the sites listed as part of the protest.

This would be great.

I've been keeping an eye on this as well. The thing is the bill actually can break the internet, for real, if it is implemented as written. They essentially want to fuck with DNS registrars as part of the solution which by all technical accounts will fuck up the internet in general, at least for a while they may be able to ignore US DNS servers and find a way to still get to sites hosted by US based companies.
For those into some heavy reading here is the actual bill.
The big guns telling congress they will break the internet. (I'd call a co-creator of TCP/IP a big gun)
Thank whatever god you may pray to for Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). He is the only adult in the room since the hearings concerning this contained no experts who could testify that it wouldn't break the internet, so he got them to wait until they could get an expert in there before they could continue.

Gotta love on how despite all the complaints about China, google will happily censor whatever the USA government tells them to censor.

While stating in their censorship message that such censorship is chilling.

Also gotta love how China censors itself, and the US censors other countries.

Probably a file sharing site that got reported on general principles.
