Great Web protest against proposed legislation SOPA and PIPA, which are submitted more than 5 million signatures, generating the first fruits
SOPA - it looked like yesterday
Protest of great web is beginning to show its results. Site ArsTechnica reports that 18 senators have announced in recent days about removing support for PIPA legislation - one of two controversial bills yesterday protested against them many Internet companies, designed to halt online piracy. In addition, it appears that the proposed support her sister, SOPA, which passes through the House of Representatives, also declined.
Recall that yesterday (Wednesday), broke into several large web sites educational protest action, designed to explain to people outside the U.S. and the dangers of both laws, and to ask U.S. citizens to contact their representatives, please remove the support. Among the sites that participated in protest can be found in Google, whose large black rectangle on each logo to protest the possibility of Internet Censorship, and the English and Yakidfih were darkened for 24 hours. Many sites are also brothers darkened the screen, or highlighting their protest on the front page. Petitions against legislation signed by millions of people, when Google reports alone about 4.5 million signatures.
Not yet clear whether and when to vote shall be taken on SOPA and PIPA, especially now - when it seems that two legislative proposals still make a lot of controversy - but media companies have announced have been ongoing fight for implementation of their regulations. Recall that the concern stems from the fact that these regulations will allow media companies to block sites, and forcing companies to censor themselves huge, more easily than today. Concern raised by opponents of the legislation is that the finger of the companies, and the plaintiffs, would be too easy on the trigger, leading to arbitrary blocks, along with damage to infrastructure and free Internet
