Censorship and You

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-3804

This is a link to a proposed bill in Congress. This bill if passed will allow the United States government to censor and block sites that they do not approve from the internet we use everyday.  We do not live in China; censorship of the internet is something everyone needs to take seriously. You might ask; why do I care if sharing sites and other sites of that nature are removed from the internet? This is a valid question; however, you should be aware that Youtube is among the sites that will be hit by the ban-hammer first. Oh no! Youtube?! Yes, Youtube has been sued multiple times by many different companies in regards to people posting copyrighted material on their site. They just won a suit against Viacom a few months ago. This is a bill that is being heavily backed by the entertainment industry. Whoever you are, it should not matter censorship of the internet is the first step down a very precarious and slippery slope. Do your part. Visit the links below and sign the petition to stop the internet blacklist.
