America's innovation economy could be put in danger, by “Great Firewall of America” if the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) or PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA) pass.
Update: Jan 18, 2012
Wikipedia shut down the English version of its online encyclopedia for 24 hours to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate version, the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
The legislation has come under fire from digital rights and free speech organisations for allegedly paving the way for US authorities to shut down websites accused of online piracy, including foreign sites, without due process.
In protest, Google has placed a black redaction box over the logo on its much-visited US home page to draw attention to the bills, while social news site reddit and the popular Cheezburger humour network planned to shut down later in the day.
