“Kill. The. Bill.”
Will SOPA kill blogs? Wouldn’t that be convenient? Here’s the deal:
Some have asserted that the controversial measures would criminalize pages and blogs that link to foreign websites dedicated to online piracy. In particular, this has concerned search engines like Google, which could face massive liability if some form of the bill passes, some say.
“Of course, restrictions of results provided by Internet search engines amount to just that: prior restraint of their free expression of future results. Google and others, under SOPA, are told what they can or can’t publish before they publish it. Kill. The. Bill,” conservative blogger Neil Stevens argued at RedState.
Liberals had their own spin on it, cheering on the fact that corporate support for SOPA was starting to subside.
We have an idiot, greedy, grabby Congress. But there’s nothing new about that.
The only presidential candidates I can find that has a stand on this are Michelle Bachmann and He Who Shall Not Be Named (both against).
