That's pretty cool. I wonder if Google will follow suit.

Probably not. But damn, sucks for the US if this bullshit passes.

FTFY.

i hope it does pass

not because i support it, but because i know the best way to get people to hate it, is for them to experience it

the majority will not do a fucking thing, until they are forced to. we can tell them it will be bad, and that it must be stopped, but they wont give a fuck

the only way they will realise what is at stake, is if they lose it, and have to fight to get it back

SOPA must pass in order for freedom of speech to win.

because if SOPA doesnt pass, they'll just bring another bill, which could be even worse than SOPA

whereas in the aftermath of SOPA being revoked, noone would even fucking dare put forward another censorship bill, SOPA would be fresh in the minds of the people, and supporting a censorship bill would be political suicide


the only way to rally support for a new censorship bill after that, would be to become a matyr, to die for the cause, to piss off the anti-censorship supporters so much that they try to kill you. and i cant see anyone who would be willing to die for someone else's profit

allowing SOPA to pass, in all its horrific glory, is the best thing we could possibly do to preserve freedom of speech in the long term

Sopa/pipa won't affect people outside of the US directly.

Unless Americans all of a sudden think they can come invade china to censor some bullshit.

Oh it will. The sites based in America will be raped of content. Hooray.

Google's homepage is a censor bar lol. Also so are most pirating websites.

Reddit's going down for half a day, tons of tech-themed websites have at least something up to protest.

exactly. the same retarded fear that drove the opposition to obamacare, will obliterate SOPA once it passes

the difficult part is explaining to the retards that they should be afraid of it, because SOPA actually IS the free-speech killing nazi abortion that they assumed obamacare was

it isnt just difficult. its impossible. the only way they will realise that SOPA will hurt the internet and free speech, is for them to WITNESS it happening, for them to have their favourite sites shut down

for their own sake, we must allow SOPA to hit them, because if it doesnt, they wont ever hit back, they'll be too busy trying to stop abortions and gay marriage

god it pisses me off that the majority are clueless... it undermines democracy to the point where our governments can barely function and are filled with parasitic scum that arent doing the jobs they were elected to do

tl;dr - ronald regan once said he often pondered how quickly all our differences would dissapear if we ever had to go to war with an alien enemy, politics is the same, perhaps SOPA can be that enemy
