SOPA/PIPA

Wow, I can't remember the last time I saw such a large, unified agreement rise out of the internet. Everywhere I tried to go all day, site were blacked out in protest over the prospective internet-censoring bills. This will serve as an interesting opportunity in these somewhat turbulent times to see if the US legislature still feels any loyalty toward the public it is supposed to represent. If such a massive outcry goes unheeded, I fear what that means not only for the future of internet usage, but what it means for the course of general legislative action in this country.

  1. I think they understand they need to maintain the appearance of caring what the majority thinks (rather than the powerful special interest).
