User ID: 1548898 United States 01/17/2012 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google to Protest SOPA on Homepage Google confirmed in a statement that it will join Wikipedia, Reddit and other influential tech firms in staging protests of varying kinds against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA), which are backed by big entertainment and media interests. "Like many businesses, entrepreneurs and web users, we oppose these bills because there are smart, targeted ways to shut down foreign rogue websites without asking American companies to censor the Internet," a Google spokeswoman said. "So tomorrow we will be joining many other tech companies to highlight this issue on our US home page." [ link to news.cnet.com] What do you guys think about this? I think it's a good move on their part. Last Edited by DrunkenEwok on 01/17/2012 01:22 PM |
