[Winter Woman]

Google is participating in the black out. No by going dark, but by hosting an online petition.

They are not gathering any information on you. Please sign it and let your Senator and Congressman know what you think.

Here's the link to the petition.

MODS: I put this here so the folks that don't go to the politics page will know the petition is there to sign.

it's a good idea but what about the people whop need places like CL for trying to find places to live?

 

[Sr. Verde]

That's pretty neat. I signed..

I don't frequent many websites but I saw two webpages with this already, and I didn't know what it was about until now. I wonder how many people will sign it given how much it's plastered all over the internet.

Do you have a link that doesn't have anything to do with google?

 

[BA142]

I signed

but wtf I thought they killed SOPA, there were articles about it all over. I thought it was just PIPA now...damn

This site needs to follow suit. It's been down plenty of other times while they correct internal issues. I think it would be a great opportunity for them to use it to help correct an external issue.....

Ok I've heard a little about this bit what exactly does it mean for us?

 

[neosapien]

Makes me mad that Facebook and Twitter didn't join up. I'm going to Boycott them. In other words just keep not using them.

 

[futureprospects]

Its absolutely ridiculous that this is even happening! Only in the U.S do they think they can control every facet of life its outrageous!

Loss of freedom.

The biggest thing for us is that it means the government can shut down any part of the internet they deem unlawful without due process. Like say a website that shows how to grow a Federal Schedule 1 drug.

Remember the vote is STILL set for Jan. 24th.

If it happened, I bet many people would be inclined to experience life outside their home. who knows, maybe a new era of people meeting face to face will emerge from the ashes. <3
