How Internet Censorship will Affect Us if SOPA Passes [infographic]
You’re hearing all about the “American Internet Censorship Bill” or “SOPA” lately, but you really need a quick way to discern if these concerns are valid. We have included this infographic on how SOPA – the Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R. 3261) and the Senate’s PROTECT IP Act (S. 968) works. In trying to protect the hard work of everyone’s piracy and theft of IP, the Government is just going a bit too far. And since Hollywood outspends Silicon Valley on lobbyists by 10x, you can see why this will probably pass. This is a content issue, and no one has even included the technology sector to help write the bill. It’s a shame. Because many sites you enjoy could be in danger of being blocked, simply because someone spams it with links the censors catch. Maybe even your own site.
But, we leave interpretation up to the individual and we hope this infographic helps
