General Discussion / America: Now forcing other countries to censor too

« on: January 06, 2012, 06:38:24 am »

Apparently not only is SOPA still going strong but now we're trying to force other countries to go along too.

"A letter leaked from the U.S. ambassador to Spain's outgoing president detailed the threat, concerning Spain's so-called Sinde Law. The letter was published by the Spanish newspaper the El Pais."

"Almost everyone in the tech industry thinks that SOPA is one of the worst ideas ever to spring from Congress, and that it would severely damage the Internet in the U.S.  But that apparently isn't stopping the U.S. from exporting it."

Thanks for the link.  It looks like I was correct and this is about the closest for the moment.

I'm not in Nashville or even in the same state.  There doesn't seem to be an occupation closer to me, though if you know of one I'd be glad to know (I doubt I'd be able to actually come join there due to resources and responsibilities).  Still, I wanted to offer my support & also was curious if you're going to be doing anything for the 17th/ Occupy Congress?
