I don't like to get political. But today I am! I want to speak out against censorship.
Today, websites are protesting SOPA, the bill that threatens freedom of information on the internet. One of it's affects- this blog. Sites like this, with links, ideas, inspiration and content not 100% generated by the owner are in danger. A site like this could get me sued. This includes sites like Google, Facebook, PayPal, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, Craigslist, etc... Not to mention our beloved Pinterest! There is no way that the government and corporations are going to be sensible about things, they've already shown that they won't be. (see video)
I'm not blacking out, because I just don't have the audience for it, but, as usual, I'll leave you with some links...
A great info-graphic that helps explain the dangers of SOPA
