BEGIN TRANSMISSION
There is a running petition to stop this!

So this is basically the kind of shit that Egypt pulled. The US government has been trying to pass shit like this more and more often. This new law that Congress is debating on right now will give the government the ability to blacklist any website they want, specifically those that infringe copyrights or don't police it's users properly.

Since so many of our favorite websites are hosted in America, that means that these websites would be completely banned from the world! Furaffinity would be shut down. Facebook could potentially be shut down. America could shut down almost any website it wanted.

THOSE OF YOU IN THE US WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS PIRATE BAY OR ANY FILE SHARING SITES!
Over 500k people have signed this petition worldwide. Sign it to keep your rights as an internet citizen! D:

Singed... first time I have seen the actual petition though I have seen several sites about this/been following the debates going around. I might just link to this in my own journal though I doubt it will get much traffic.

OP
Avaaz does petitions for all major stuff going on. It's like the #1 activist site in the world or something. They send me emails of the big shit like this to have me sign petitions, which makes it really convenient.
