Blackout on Wednesday against SOPA!

[FoxFace]

Yup, Google has a censor bar over its logo and Websites like Wikipedia, Wordpress and some of the Wordpress blogs are in total blackout.

Isn't this sorta kinda unconstitutional? I mean, using the Internet is part of our freedom of speech. (It's in Amendment 1,people.)

And the part of the bill that say oh no you cant have/do thatttttt

TITLE II--ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS TO COMBAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT

I know what intellectual property is. Maybe I am missing a few things, but what I see under the "Definitions" is movies and music. They use purple prose ways to describe it, but from what I'm understanding this is mostly targeting streaming illegal content like movies, music, music videos, etc.

Isn't this sorta kinda unconstitutional? I mean, using the Internet is part of our freedom of speech. (It's in Amendment 1,people.)

Not to mention the definitions are vague and can be used unconstitutional.

If it passes and there is an issue with being unconstitutional, we have the Supreme Court for issues like that. The same place Prop 8 went to when its constitutionality was being challenged.

Remember, just because Congress signs off on it doesn't mean it will pass. The president has to sign off on it or veto it before it can go into effect. Judging by Obama's stance on it, he will most likely veto it.

facebook will be gone. NOOOOOOOOO.

Wouldn't this be pretty unfair to people who live in countries other than the US? :c

(I live in the US but I still think it is unfair.)
