I'm Not Usually a "joiner" but....

So the whole issue of Internet censorship has crossed my path.  I was a little confused as to what SOPA and PIPA (not Middleton) actually is.  I read a little bit and now I'm writing about it.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO STOP SOPA.  Which the short version of what these Bills are is as follows: Ways for the government to regulate the internet in the USA, using the same technology China and Iran use to block certain websites in America.

SAY WHAAAT?

Yea that's right-- the USA Government will decide what websites we can look at....etc... Have you ever read the book "If you give a Mouse a Cookie?" Then the Mouse asks for milk, then he asks for something else, an so forth.

Basically If these laws pass it wont be long till the government abuses its power and spirals out of control.

It was also INTERESTING to see that FACEBOOK has blocked users from sending out Invites for the STOP SOPA/PIPA bills from being passed.
           Yes, Facebook is the new big brother, and don't even try to delete your account (FB has your info laced through the system like a web...it's nearly impossible to completely take yourself off the site)

Here are the links to more detailed information about SOPA:
SOPA is not Dead

This link has videos that explain what SOPA and PIPA are at: American Censorship

Seriously DO SOMETHING--- Or Get used to the below Image.
