Sign google's petition to Congress to express your concern over Internet censorship in the proposed bills Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) which aim to block illegal uploading of copyrighted materials such as movies and songs. Unfortunately, the bills could work against legal sites such as wikipedia, and blogs that link to other websites.
In other words our freedom to share information and distribute ideas freely could be blocked by the government.
Click this link to sign the petition telling Congress you oppose these bills.
In protest of PIPA and SOPA wikipedia is on a 24 hour blackout. Take action and sign the petition now.
