SOPA: The Internet Blacklist Bill
The Stop Internet Piracy Act or SOPA is one of two pieces of legislature being introduced, which threatens the very foundation of the internet. The SOPA and Protect IP Act will enable the American government with the power to censor international websites that have users who post copy righted content. The type of censorship method proposed is the same used in countries like Iran, China and Syria. Web sites like Youtube, twitter, Google and other search engines as well as social networks will have some of the greatest number of offending users. Not just big companies will be effected but personal blogs on blogger, tumbler, et cetera. The above infographic is provided by American Censorship and gives us the facts about SOPA. What is your opinion on this and do you think we need this Act?
