SOPA act images?
#15680920 - 01/17/12 10:08 PM (12 years, 2 months ago) |

Hello all,
I have been clicking on images that were posted by members and the expanded version is some US Government SOPA Act message.
What gives?
This is the Stop Online Piracy Act....it has nothing to do with privately created and uploaded images.
Take care,
JD

Its to show what could very well happen if SOPA passes. Today has been chosen as a black out day for several sites, Shroomery is participating a bit too it appears.

11/18... Going Black. Wikipedia is doing it as are many big US sites. Write or phone your congressman and senators about SOPA and PIPA. Censorship is un-American!

PS unnamedgrower. If you live outside the US it would still affect you if you use US sites like Google, EBay, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The way it would work is any corporation could make a claim of piracy or some loose link to piracy and the site goes down without evidence, due process, or warning. It is a dangerous piece of legislation that would affect all internet users around the world.

Holy fuck I hope all you americans step the fuck up and dont let those facist bastards pull that shit. Stop letting the government use 9/11 to become gestapo like. These new laws that just got passed are crazy

Lol this will definitely get peoples attentions and show how fucked up SOPA would be if it passed, plus the blackout has been news for well over a week. Greedy American Companies want to control the internet, even non US based sites!

That's what I have read, adblock is a firefox addon. You can also hit the stop button before the black out loads.

Awesome, thanks. I'm useless with computers, so I'd rather not try to figure out the whole addon thing. I'll try that out.

Yeah it works if you just click stop before it loads all the way, like he said.

You should be able to do a google search for Wikipedia + _____ then view the cached page.

SOPA = Shitting On People's Affairs... Or does it stand for something else?
-------------------- Please assume any and all prints exchanged are "WILD" in nature; and thus, should NOT be considered ASEPTIC... NOTE: Please excuse my brevity, as it is a bitch 'n' a half and slow as hell to type on this here phone
