SOPA and GoDaddy

[Moonliner]

SOPA is in the news big time these days, even main stream news media can't ignore it anymore.

Tomorrow Wikipedia, reddit and other sites will go dark for a day.

Google is rumored to be joining in a limited way, acknowledging SOPA on the home page but still functioning as a search engine. Fair enough.


The White House finally came out against the bill as written and a few of the more egregious parts of the bill have already been dropped.

The beast is wounded, time to go in for the kill.

Kill! Kill!

SOPA in its truly hateful form is all but dead.

PIPA is still alive and kicking though.

I'm completely ok with internet places doing whatever they want to protest whatever bills working through congress they want (or any other reason).

But for those international corporations taking action against the possibility of internet censorship here, I assume they are absolutely refusing to do business in countries that currently quite actively censoring the internet. I assume, for example, that Google is constantly telling people in China to petition their government to stop censoring the internet.


Ugh, at least Google knows how to use meaningless Republican talking points when it suits them:

2. SOPA and PIPA would be job-killers because they would create a new era of uncertainty for American business

I called my Senators office today (the one of the rat bastard that sponsored PIPA) and was told that the senator has changed his position on the bill and no longer supports it in it's current form.

But isn't the current form better than the original form?
