Hey, we could at least have kept those cheesy ads! Imagine all teh moneys we’ve lost now.

Construction opportunities for women. Someone has their demographic wrong… ;D

what i dont understand though, is why etf2l also joined the blackout.

i mean isn’t this a european site? where all content is hosted on european servers? so basically that wouldn’t affect us.
Or did i understand that SOPA/PIPA shit wrong?

.com/.org/.net are managed by US companies and can and will be blocked even if the actual server isn’t located there. Also google/facebook/twitter/reddit/… are also US based.

the DNS things most certainly mean that they can (and will) block everyone from viewing websites they don’t want you to view. Even though the website is completely legal outside the US you won’t be able (well, you know how bad DNS blocks are) to visit them.

So yeah this is the US (trying to) seizing control over the internet.

This video paints a much bigger picture about this whole ordeal
