We Are Joining The Blackout To Protest SOPA And PIPA: Posted Jan 18, 2012; Source Packet Storm; Packet Storm Security will be going dark in the next few hours as we join the protest against the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), two pieces of United States legislation. We strongly feel that bills of this nature infringe upon privacy, break many security models and would cause great harm to the Internet community.

These bills appear to be created by people who do not understand how technology works and their power to influence fiscally through lobbies and other means may cause serious harm to the future.

We ask our readers to help the greater good by sending an email to your representatives through the Electronic Frontier Foundation. We also ask that you read the EFF article How PIPA and SOPA Violate White House Principles Supporting Free Speech and Innovation.
