The Internet has always been like your best friend. It's the place to go to when you're feeling down to look at funny picture of LOL Cats...But, what if someone took this all away from us? What if...What if there was a bill that was trying to be passed called SOPA and PIPA? SOPA stands for Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act. PIPA stand for Protect IP Act.
What would you do if PIPA and SOPA took away all your favorite websites like Twitter, Facebook, and searching engines like Google? What if they didn't stop there and deleted 75% of all the Internet? You'd probably be driven to the point of insanity.
SOPA and PIPA will take away any website that include Piracy. Piracy is the unauthorized reproduction of products and other websites. So, think about Google. You search one thing, they provide websites on everything to do with that topic. For example, you're writing a report in school about a type of bird called the Paradisaea Rubra. You want to find some neat pictures of it that you can use to make it more eye-catching. You search the name up in Google Images and find thousands, even millions, of pictures. You scroll through, trying to find the perfect one.
Now think, if you didn't have Google then how would you find a picture of this bird? You couldn't take a picture of it, they're rare and live far away. So, once the internet is gone, everything will be dull. The human population created the internet to show the we are (most of the time) intelligent, powerful, and now...We've gone through all of that inventing by scientists who have succeded in inventing the Internet but now it's all being taken away.
People are making petition forms and protesting. Some very popular websites such as Wikipedia and Google and doing their part to fight SOPA and PIPA. Google blanked out their logo today, trying to raise awareness. This is a picture of Google's website logo today. If you go to their website they have a lot more information on the laws that congess is trying to pass, SOPA and PIPA.
Wikipedia saw that this was also a problem and they have taken down their website for 24 hours just to give people a taste of what might come. Google and Wikipedia have set up petition forms that anyone can sign to be part of the Fight Against SOPA and PIPA, or as I'd like to call it FASOPAPIPA-Since the world seems to be loving acronyms at this time of year.
The Senate will vote for SOPA and PIPA on January 24th. Get ready.

OMG THAT IS SCARY! :O
ReplyDeleteI know! It just seems so...So fictional! Like something in a freaky technology movie!
DeleteWe've signed petitions today about this very thing! Nice job doing a post about it to raise awareness!
DeleteSweet! I hear the law has been shelfed but I think they're still voting on the 24th of this month. I could be wrong about the shelfing though...I hope I'm not! ;)
