[LVZ]

Some interesting political trivia: which ideology was most active against internet censorship?

Did LIBERAL democraticunderground.com and moveon.org choose to "go dark" against SOPA on January 18? ...... [size=5][color=#00DD00]YES[/color][/size]

Did CONSERVATIVE redstate.com or freerepublic.com or heritage.org or townhall.com or rightwingnews.com "go dark"? ...... [size=5][color=red]NO[/color][/size]

2. pointing out LIBERAL active opposition and CONSERVATIVE passivity to censorship is important !!

I would guess that most DU'ers participate in other forums.

Why not help solidify the reality that the anti-SOPA movement was most prominent among progressive forces?
Stop the usual [font color=red]conservative revisionism[/font], by posting similar messages on the forums you frequent.

Conservatives are already try to re-spin anti-SOPA action as a "conservative" cause despite reality:

SOPA Backers Are Mainly Democrats

3. There are even more congressional threats of internet surveillance in the works

Senator Lamar Smith, lead sponsor of the currently dead SOPA bill you’ve heard so much about, has another bill in the works that uses Child Pornography as a screen to push through an amendment that’ll have your internet service provider tracking all of your financial dealings online. Each time you use a credit card, each time you read your bank statement, all of your IP information and your search history will be required by your ISP to be stored for 18 months at all times. This bill is H.R. 1981 and will have more dire consequences than SOPA or PIPA ever had the potential to have.
