Stop SOPA Redux
Posted by Alan B. Johnston in Internet, Security on January 18, 2012
Tomorrow is a world-wide day of protest against SOPA and PIPA, as they are being discussed in the United States Congress. As I discussed last month, these bills must be stopped, or the Internet as we know it today will be no more. To explain in technical terms, SOPA and PIPA are a Really Bad Idea.
My personal contribution will be to take down the site for my book, and replace it with a banner, courtesy of protestsopa.org.
If you have a website and care about the future of the Internet, why not join in? If you don’t but still want to participate, blog or microblog – tell your friends, family, and acquaintances about this historic event.
We must stop SOPA and PIPA, and ensure that Chinese-style and Iranian-style Internet censorship does not happen in America.
