"under language approved 19 to 10 by a House committee, the firm that sells you Internet access would be required to track all of your Internet activity and save it for 18 months, along with your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and IP addresses you've been assigned."

This is trying to be passed in the shadow of SOPA/PIPA and we can't let them pull this fast one on us, sorry for putting this is multiple places, but seriously the internet needs to strike again!

If u ask me, all major sites should coordinate this & black out on them same day, mayb a saturday just 2 get the weekend users' attention. besides, that way schools could do it to. once the big sites have a set date, the rest could just hop on the bandwagon.
I'm saying this because i was affected by 2 of them on separate days (wiki, then ng). not a big impact.
If half the internet went down on the same day, i would be thinking "was this a coordinated cyber attack, did sopa/pipa pass early, or was this organised by the sites?"
that would have a bigger impact.


Thanks to me...

Sooo many idiot I swear... you can live without a site for 24 hours, but if SOPA gets passed this site will be closed forever. Thanks to the black out, many people contacted their local congressmen and told them how they felt, I know I did. Tom wasn't doing it to be cool...

Obama said he would not support SOPA or PIPA. expect it to be Vetoed if it passes congress.
Thats one of the only good things he's done while in office.

that was cool.

SOPA is way too radical and too restrictive.

Now it's time to do the same because of the ACTA Treaty, which is pretty much twice as bad.
