Thanks for posting! Nothing good ever comes out of giving the government the power to block communication. Anything can be labeled "classified." Strong public outrage works.

Excellent links, Aitch.

You'd think big corporations would oppose this because of loosing confidential company information via emails. Haven't heard any opposition from big corps.

Somewhat SOPA -ish, information available due to Sony hack.

"Documents reviewed by The Verge detail the beginning of a new plan to attack piracy after the federal SOPA efforts failed by working with state attorneys general and major ISPs like Comcast to expand court power over the way data is served. If successful, the result would fundamentally alter the open nature of the internet."

Google in no way should be acting as a "police" force (I mean censorship force).

BTW, Piracy is the act of boarding cargo ships and stealing the cargo.
