I had several posts written for today, and had even posted them for a short while. But I have since learned that Anonymous has called for an internet blackout today to protest the ridiculous bill working it's way through Congress right now -- and since I agree with them, I am honoring that blackout for today by posting only their letter to "all citizens of the internet" and nothing else (and today's scheduled posts will appear tomorrow).Dear citizens of the internet, We are Anonymous. The United States Government is again attempting to control and censor the internet. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act has just recently passed the house. This bill would allow major internet entities such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google to voluntarily share your personal information with the U.S. Government. This will not only affect users in the United States, but also anyone with an account with these companies. This upcoming Monday, April the 22nd, we invite you to join Anonymous in an internet blackout. We encourage all web developers and website owners to go dark on this date. Display a message as to why you are going dark, and encourage others to do the same. We hope, just like the successful protest over the Stop Online Piracy Act, we can encourage the senate to stop this bill. Spread the message, and inform the world. We are Anonymous
We are the people
We are the internet Knowledge is free
