If you are someone who believes in your right to free speech then you will be happy to know that some of your favorite websites will be boycotting the internet on Wednesday January 18, 2012, from 8 AM until 8 PM eastern time to demonstrate what could happen to the Internet if the government proceeds to pass a new law which they named SOPA/PIPA, which was thought up in order to serve Corporate interests because of their political donations and lobbying dollars.
The sad thing is that if this law passes the government will black out many alternate websites, so that the only news that people will receive is the news that the Corporate owned media reports, which is censored, and doesn't really inform the viewers about what is really going on around the world.
I am including three videos for you to view.
I am also including two links for you to check out.
