To fellow users of the Internet:
Greetings.
Anonymous has a grave announcement to make to all users of the World Wide Web.
The Internet you have come to take for granted has once again come under attack.
Several interest groups have been successfully lobbying to consolidate internet
censorship within the United States. They are rallying for the right to remove any
websites they deem "inappropriate" and, ultimately, for the ability to remove any
content that disagrees with their profit margins, personal whims, or other agendas.
This new initiative is called the PROTECT IP Act:
You must login or register to view this content....
This bill would allow the US Government to force ISPs and search engines to
censor websites they do not like under the guise of "copyright protection".
Instead of reducing piracy, this bill endangers the free flow of information.
Through domain seizures, ISP blockades, search engine censorship, and the
restriction of funding to websites accused of infringement, this bill promises to
take Internet censorship to the next level. Furthermore, it violates the citizens
' rights to due process, to free speech, to free expression and to legal
representation at their hearing.
The Internet is a place where anyone and everyone can come together freely
to share information and opinions. The freedom the Internet provides has
served as a global aid for tens of millions of people in places like Egypt, Tunisia
and Iran, to name a few. All of this has been accomplished largely without
interference from corporations, governments, or any other global institutions until now.
We must unite and stand up to those who wish to censor the Internet.
We must not allow them the freedom to moderate information and decide what we are
"permitted" to view.
We must protect what is rightfully ours.
We must protect the rights of the Internet.
You Are Anonymous
You are legion
You can not forgive this.
You can not forget this.
Expect eRevolution.

At least I can fight

What they claim as "fighting" is actually hindering us. They can fight the "power" so called, but its hindering us in the long run. Some things are meant to be censored. They just need to stop while they are ahead.
No offence but somethings shouldn't be censored because the government doesn't like the way it is run. We have a constitution for a reason and rights here in America and on the Internet. The more they take away from us the weaker we get as a whole. We need to fight and stand for the things we believe in and we SHOULD fight to keep our sites censorship free. Once they censor our internet who knows what else they will take away from us

This bill was mainly to block things that could be potentially harmful to others, such as leaked info and all that from bigger sites, companies, etc. I dont blame them for censoring shit, would you want to see things like ********, tubgirl, etc. all over the internet?
You're quite naive, this bill is primarily being brought forward(essentially by the media corporations) to protect copyrighted music, movies etc and that means if something copyrighted is found on any site they have the means to pull it, just like that. That includes NGU. They're also pushing for a law that would cut off your internet connection after 3 claims of copyright infringement... yup, claims, not necessarily proven, just claims.
All any bill like this will ever do is hurt the internet.
