Here’s a video about the passing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill, which the President will not veto, includes a provision that allows the military to detain and imprison American citizens indefinitely without trial. WTF?
And now for SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act:
The Atlantic asks, “Should copyright be allowed to override speech rights?” The answer: “no.”
OpenCongress breaks down the interest groups that support and oppose SOPA.
The Washington Post discusses the “nightmarish SOPA hearings.”
Get Your Censor On reminds us that “life will suck if they censor the internet” and “only sacrifices of taste and sense will satisfy our Web-lords.”
Oh, and today is the 220th birthday of the Bill of Rights. The irony has not gone unnoticed.
