As teachers, Garth and I have often commented on the problem we see with internet filters in public schools. Today, several major websites (Wiki and Google included) are doing their part to protect their creative medium; the internet. The government currently has two pieces of legislation in the works that will effectively censor the internet. SOPA and PIPA may be disguised as protecting copyright, personal intellectual property and "economic creativity" but the scope of this legislation is much larger. If you click on SOPA or PIPA above, it will take you to the government's website to track the process and read the entire text of each bill.
Please take a moment to read up on these pieces of legislation and leave a comment. MORE IMPORTANTLY, take a few moments to contact your local representative(s) and express your opinion of these bills. After all, our elected officials represent us, do not be part of the silent majority.
