On Jan. 18th there is going to be an all-out strike on the internet. Websites across the internet are going dark in protest of the internet censorship bills in Congress, SOPA and PIPA.

Some of the biggest sites in the world are participating: Reddit, Mozilla. And some others may join (e.g. a leading micro-blogging platform and a popular collaboratively-written encyclopedia), but they need a nudge. If we can get them to join this will be EPIC.

Ask the biggest sites on the internet to join the strike. http://sopastrike.com/

Nå har ikkje jeg lest igjennom hele tråden her, men har sett det er en del personer som har byttet bort profil bildet og headeren i timeline mot Anti SOPA bilder inkludert meg selv.

Så jeg tenkte det kunne jo kanskje være en ide å prøve å få til en aksjon der flest mulig bytter bort profil bilde og headeren på timeline med anti SOAP bilder.
Jeg har klargjort de bildene som jeg har sett andre bruker på profil sidene sine, pakken den i en zip fil å lagt den med i denne posten som vedlegg.

Og gjerne få med så mange som mulig på å si i nei til SOPA ved å vise det på facebook.

SOPA/PIPA har blitt stanset intill videre: http://judiciary.house.gov/news/01202012.html men ACTA kan fortsatt gjøre mer skade enn SOPA og PIPA, og blir i motsetning til SOPA/PIPA ikke diskutert offentlig...

Kan vi klare å stanse ACTA på samme måte som SOPA/PIPA?

Ser ut som vi har 6 dager på oss før ACTA blir underskrevet: Slashdot.org - EU To Sign ACTA Later This Month

Hvem skal vi kontakte for å stoppe dette i norge?

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.
What it does is to amend several rules that have to do with Child Pornography and preventing it, the bill itself called the “Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.” What it also does is to change the U.S. code Chapter 18 section 2703 Required Disclosure of Customer Communications or Records to include a requirement that your internet service provider do the following:

While it was legal for the government to issue a subpoena for the viewing of the information they speak about here before, it was not part of the law that internet service providers capture or retain that information at any point. In effect, while before the authorities would need to first find a reason for you to need to be watched to get the ISP to start collecting information from you, that information will already exist on file, effectively meaning you’re being watched and recorded even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
Don’t worry though, there’s an additional set of lines that should placate you because it’s so very kind of them to think of:

So don’t worry, your information will be “stored securely” so noone else can access it! But if they do access it, your ISP will give you “prompt notice” so you can change all your credit card numbers, hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband. This bill has currently cleared its committee, this meaning that the next step is a full vote. This bill needs to be stopped, and if I might go one better, Lamar Smith needs to be stopped, for the good of the internet and YOUR privacy.
