Go to Google... WTF is going on?

[cadet]

Something about the Congress Censoring the web...

If that's about certain cites people visit in the late nights, i think that's the parents job to block those.

But, if this goes farther then that, one small step toward communism, one giant leap for Gov't. We don't know how to take care of ourselves, let Uncle Sam tell you how.

ah, and here's the link if you need some ref. https://www.google.com/

It's a protest of the internet industry (or at least many websites) against two proposed bills called SOPA and PIPA. The entertainment industrie wants to gain the right to cencor the web and shut down every website having a britney spears song playing in the background of a video posted on it.

For more information you should read the information page Google provides. Wikipedia is completely shut down today and does provide information on it to. (same goes for reddit and craigslist)

Dude, where have you been!?
We've got major legislation going through congress right now that will have an enormous impact on the Internet and today is the day many Internet heavyweights have chosen to protest this legislation.

Run a Google search on SOPA and PIPA for more information.

Quick Update:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/tech...-congress.html

"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) withdrew as a co-sponsor of the Protect IP Act in the Senate, while Reps. Lee Terry (R-Neb.) and Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.) said they were pulling their names from the companion House bill, the Stop Online Piracy Act"

Nothing like the expansion of a police state's power.

Or any of the conservative/right wing sites it can. I've already caught them censoring certain info that is unflattering to lefwingnut rhetoric. As in ... you back to find an article or link and it's "magically" vanished.

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd:
Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to
“run” or just search for “cmd.”
Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],”


Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL nd hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access the internet regularly, you should, save this list.

torrent sites are an invitation to trouble, I would avoid them. If not mistaken the ownership of thepiratebay has excahnged a few times and at some point one or more owner have been in court on piracy related charges. Most things that are available through the torrent sites are readily available elsewhere on the net if you look for it hard enough.

Take megaupload of that list.... government shut it down!

MegaUpload shut down by feds: Why do we need SOPA?

File-sharing mecca MegaUpload.com is dead, shut down at the hands of the US federal government. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested four people, and charged three others, in the anti-piracy sting. The forced closure of MegaUpload comes just one day after a mass online protest against two pieces of legislation that aim to increase the power of copyright holders to block access to websites that illegally distribute intellectual property, like music and movies.http://news.yahoo.com/megaupload-shu...225952735.html

I wouldn't go that far. Their overreaching is mostly geared towards "piracy". And while I don't have a problem with people protecting the intellectual property and other "ownership", I have a HUGE problem with how the bill is designed to go about it. But DP would be at the very, very end of a long list, IF we would ever be on any list. I suppose things could go a little out of control if entire DNS servers were killed with webhosting providers, but I don't see that happening. In fact, from what I'm reading, I think this bill is going to be DOA in the long run anyway.

Does anyone have the latest news on the progress of this bill?
