Tech News: Wikipedia SOPA Blackouts
Wikipedia was among several websites to shut down Wednesday in protest of the bills.
End Piracy, Not Liberty – Google
Tech News:
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business.
The U.S. government could order the blocking of sites using methods similar to those employed by China. Among other things, search engines could be forced to delete entire websites from their search results.
That’s why 41 human rights organizations and 110 prominent law professors have expressed grave concerns about the bills.
