Companies want to censor our interwebs. - Vizth Hal - 01-11-2012
So whos hears about SOPA?

As best as i understand this it will allow companies (namely our best friends the mpaa and riaa) to censor websites they feel are infringing on they're stuff. But this'll get abused to the point of stupidity. My advise folks is start learning how to use TOR. the wiki article is the most nonbiased view i.ve found on this. the gizmodo links kinda say what else this can be used for. aside from that feel free to post any links you find.
ok i think i may be a bit behind here. this might be sopa's replacement still sounds just as bad tho.

Craigslist is another target of these things. Went there today looking to surf around and they have lots of info for you.

Maybe just a big fat header above the normal TK header/logo with links to all the stuff mentioned here?
Do you people really care enough to bother and I should just ignore this?
RE: Companies want to censor our interwebs. - Vizth Hal - 01-17-2012
I say put the header up, as for going dark we don't have a big enough population really.
RE: Companies want to censor our interwebs. - Twitchin Kitten - 01-17-2012
yeah, i was thinking the same thing.
RE: Companies want to censor our interwebs. - Twitchin Kitten - 01-17-2012
OK I got my header code ready for tomorrow. Just going to put something up at the top that is really hard to miss.
This way the site is still open and anyone wishing to keep their porn and torrent sites working forever can use the links to write letters and call congressmen.
The assholes in NJ are most likely going to say yes. I know Menendez will definitely - last time I checked the others were unknown.
