I wanted to give you a heads up that this coming Thursday the 18th, this is the image you might possibly see all day on my site.
On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill – PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House – to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity.
Basically all anyone has to do if this is passed is CLAIM that you have copywrited materical on your site and they shut you down without any proof at all. This is dangerous for bloggers, as many of the deals and match-ups are similar including recipes and so on.
I am considering joining thousands of others sites on Thursday in “blacking” out and staying off the internet because I believe that as a website owner and big internet users I need to support this. Rumor has it, that along with Reddit, Mozilla, Twitpic, Facebook is considering as well.
If you need recipes and matchups that day you will still be able to get them, but the first thing you will see is the image above.
What do you think?
