Save the internet

“Right now, the US Congress is debating a law that would give them the power to censor the world’s Internet creating a blacklist that could target YouTube, WikiLeaks and even…

And, because so much of the Internet’s hosts and hardware are located in the US, their blacklist would clamp down on the free web for all of us.”

If any of you feel as strongly about this issue please vote here

Re: Save the internet

As the bill seems to be progressing here at NeMe we are currently protesting by closing our site.

For those wishing to know more about this please visit this Wikipedia article.

Re: Save the internet

I’ve created a simple plugin to implement sopablackout.org’s blackout script.

Install, activate, add <txp:msd_sopablackout/> to the head of your page.

Simple way to show your visitors how you feel about SOPA.

I felt bad that my WP sites had fancy banners and my TxP sites didn’t. Next time I won’t have that problem.

Re: Save the internet

I’ll have to add the ability to set the date for it to be active. Stay tuned.

pure kewlness :) I nevertheless hope that the bill will fail. I heart in the news today that 2 republican senators who originally supported the bill are now against it following yesterday’s blackout.
