January 18th: Internet on Strike Against SOPA and PIPA Legislation:
“INTERNET GOES ON STRIKE: ALL SITES AND PEOPLE TO GO OUT
Major sites all over the internet have gone on strike due to SOPA and PIPA, the hot-button anti-piracy legislation. Experts expect strike to last 150 seconds, and agree this is a ‘near eternity’ in internet time.
Congress is about to pass what has been called the internet censorship bill, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. The Senate is scheduled to vote on its version of the internet censorship bill on Tuesday, January 24th, and unless there are 41 senators to voice their opposition to allowing the bill to proceed, it is expected to pass.
