I’m glad to see Wikipedia back online, and all the black bars removed and darkened sites restored to normal. I hope the message got through to the big top circus that is the US congress, that we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore.
I wrote to my Senators yesterday, and today I received a response from Senator Feinstein. She says she’s working with many interested and concerned parties to rework the legislation. Yada yada yada.
What I don’t think the congress understands yet is that the Internet is not US soil. It rightly belongs to the people of Earth, not the corporate greedstate of America. The Internet represents one of our last best hopes that we may come together as personnes sans frontières, seek social justice, and learn peace.
So legislators, who are elected by the people but employed by corporations, need to keep their gritty, porcine snouts back and stay out of our way.
In other words, We the People Occupy the Net.
