GOING DARK JANUARY 18TH - SOPA STRIKE

I will not be posting on January 18th in support of the web strike against SOPA and PIPA, the pending US legislation bill.


From Sopa Strike
"On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit's lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day. "
Censoring free speech is the first brick in the road to ending democracy.
