Biggest Online Protest

If you are an “always” online person like me, you may have heard already about the biggest online protest tomorrow, Wednesday (January 18, 2012) against the SOPA/PIPA Act.

If you are an online business owner, will you be affected by this protest?

Well, for starters…you may need to do some research. I think it’s important to be “informed” about these two bills that has been creating an online buzz among social media, blog network and online news.

While Wikipedia will shut its digital doors tomorrow, as an online business owner…it is important to do your research and how you can respond. You may respond the right way, the wrong way or the other way…either way, at least respond with responsibility.

For students, you may need to print or do your online research now since Wikipedia will be totally black out tomorrow.

Why the “blackout”?

According to SOPAStrike.com, the blackout is a way for the bill get into the mainstream and inform people on how it could affect your everyday online use.

Here are some links of where these two bills stand now
