Not sure if any of you have already read or heard about this. www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/30/will-google-amazon-and-facebook-blackout-net/ Seems like protesting is the cool hip thing to do these days no matter how and who it affects so I don't know if proboards is participating. If they are there is nothing I can do about it since this is a free site so if you come to login and see nothing, this is what happened. |

I agree, but this protest will accomplish nothing, just like the rest of them. Only hurting the goodguys (consumers). Think about it, if the largest and many other sites shutdown (for hopefully just one day) it hurts the sponsors of these sites, not the Obama administration. The only businesses that are for this is Hollywood movie and music businesses because they want a stop to piracy. This protest won't hurt them. It will hurt internet site sponsors and us. I agree the censorship is in the direction of the communist Countries you mentioned and goes right along with Obama's more Government power ways, but protesting is not going to do a damn thing. Ever since squatting in parks got popular, people think useless protests is the way to go. |
