obfuscator Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Even for like an hour. That would be much more feasible.The longer it is, the more pissed off people there are.The more pissed off people there are, the more support.Yeah, but shutting facebook off for an entire day would probably cost facebook several million dollars.

Napalm Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Not sure if fired, but they shouldn't let some old men decide on things they don't understand. Get some competent people that have knowledge on the issue. Of course, that probably doesn't serve their interests, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaah Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 ...

H2PM Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Among other things, not relating to SOPA but much worse, Congress needs to be fired and fitted with a new group of younger and more educated individuals.

Of course, that probably doesn't serve their interests, so yeah.It'll be interesting to see how this generation will do once we start becoming politicians. I'd think anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet would know just how impossible it is to enforce anything on here.
