Hundreds of sites have been joining American Censorship Day, taking
place tomorrow, November 16, including the EFF, Boing Boing, Reddit,
Creative Commons, Hype Machine, and many, many, many more. The
momentum is building really fast!

This day of protest is against a new bill in Congress called 'SOPA'
that could pass this month.  It would create the first ever United
States Goverment website censorship system, using DNS blocking. Sound
familiar? It’s the same technology Libya and China use to prevent
their citizens from seeing undesirable websites. The bill would chill
innovation, create huge liability for startups, and would set a
terrible global precedent for government censorship of the Internet
