The SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act) see
en.wikipedia.org...
is another bill which has been made by a very few Elites - it is hardly in the benefit for the majority of internet users in the USA.
The SOPA bill comes in the guise of "fighting online piracy" - but what it entitles is far more than what it sounds.
It would entitle the US government to make the US equivalent of the "Chinese internet firewall" - which means the US Gvt can basically block
"foreign" sites for access to and from the the USA.
A site like for example Wikileaks and similar would then simply be blocked under the guise of "copyright violation" - needless to say that TPTB can
bend and use this bill however they would like to block access to internet sites, using all kinds of "shady" reasons.
With the SOPA bill would also come a significant impact on privacy which will affect each and any internet user!
This will go so far as to allow internet providers to "tap in" and inspect internet traffic of their users plus other, significant violations of
privacy.
The SOPA bill could amongst other things mean the end of many video sites and similar sites which don't really have anything to do with "online
piracy" per se - because it is simply in the eye of the beholder how the enforcers of this bill would legitimate the use of the drastic measures the
bill would allow.
In the past it has shown that such measures are ALWAYS abused either by various governments or by the few elites...what we are talking about here is
nothing but obvious CENSORSHIP and i think every American should be aware of this!
A bill..made by a few Elites, a *huge* majority of internet users already have a clear stance against this and you should also!
