If you’re wondering what this is referencing, there are two bills (SOPA [Stop Online Piracy Act] and PIPA [Protect IP Act]) that are trying to be passed in the United States. These bills would not only censor the internet for Americans, but would also (attempt to) close/censor various sites including Tumblr, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Etsy. These bills have NOT been passed, but they haven’t been rejected either.
If you live in the States, please please please write to your representatives. These bills would infringe upon the right to free speech, and a person posting copyrighted material could be sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Sorry for the seriousness of this post, but it’s important and affects us in a huge way.
Agree with the content here. LOVE the meme.
