Power to the people has not been as strong as it was on blackout day regarding SOPA and PIPA since the hippie anti-war protests of the 1960s. Because millions of Internet users contacted Congress to stop legislation on bills that would result in Internet censorship, Congress indefinitely postponed SOPA and PIPA legislation. It looks as if we are safe, for a while anyway. But the government wants control of the Internet, and I’m afraid some other scheme will rear its head sooner or later. If you want some background on the situation, check out my article about SOPA and PIPA really being about government control. Saying it was about Internet piracy was just a front.
