A few years ago when the Australian government tried to pass an Internet filter, which aimed at blocking websites that were refused classification, Australians were furious. They knew that if this passed, not only would websites that are refused classification be censored but the right to free speech and information would be in danger. How will we know what has been banned?
And now America is trying to pull the same thing but under the guise of protecting copy right. They also go a step further in that this could affect ANYONE around the world. If you own a website or have your own blog that talks about your favourite songs, movies, television shows, no matter which country you are in, you may be asked by someone in America to remove the content or have your site taken down.
Let's spread the word and show them that we don't want this to pass. For more information, check out this Wiki article.
