SOPA Explained

[grem]

Today seems to be anti sopa day and the oatmeal has made this animated gif as a means to protest and educate. This was shared and does not represent my sense of humor.

I love the Oatmeal, spot on

[LuckyLizzy]

The Oatmeal definitely has a very quirky sense of humor that I don't always understand, but appreciate it nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing. Now I know what it's all about

I miss wiki though!

[grem]

You can use wikipedia through your mobile phone or tablet

[TheGooner]

Wikipedia could be down all week and I wouldn't really notice

[F-L-C]

People are overreacting about this Wiki thing like the whole internet is down, there are other places to find information, we still used the web for this pre wiki

[CoopersPick]

you can use a proxy or hide my ass to get to any of the sites that were/are blocked by SOPA disturbance accept redditt which is completely off line.

some politicians are now distancing themselves from sopa and pipa after getting swarmed with calls on Wednesday.

Something worked.

Someone posted on facebook last night...

What if someone posts links to warez sites on the US govt sites. Will they block their own sites?

[MainStAffs]

Here we go.... Feds shut down Megaupload. Annonymous strike back by shuttin down DOJ and record label sites.

I don't think the SOPA bill will pass, a lot of co-sponsors have already started withdrawing their support. I think a lot of it has to do with the SOPA blackouts that took place recently They were very successful in raising awareness about SOPA, and what it would do to the Internet.

I love that animated gif from the oatmeal, its so clever lol What a cute way to protest
