Today is one of those days that will go down in history as a large step toward securing the future of the internet. It is my belief, and the belief of many others that the internet will not be censored by the government of the United States. You may have noticed that many of the most popular sites on the internet have gone dark to day. These sites went dark in protest of the bills being pushed through congress that would otherwise damage, or change the internet so that freedom of speech would no longer be possible. These bills are known as the Stop Online Piracy Act, and the Protect Intellectual Property Act. These bills would not only be ineffective against online piracy, but they would allow people and corporations to have sites functionally blocked or otherwise removed from the internet based solely on one complaint. This cannot stand; therefore, I am providing a link to an online petition where you can fight these bills.
