Entry 4: SOPA

Imagine a World
Without Lolcats, Bronies, and other complete stupidity

The Uncyclopedia community has authorised a blackout of the English version of Uncyclopedia for 24 hours in protest of the blackout of the English version of Wikipedia. Unlike them, we support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives and the PROTECTIP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate - bills that, if passed, will help purify and secure the currently free and open Internet, once and for all putting an end to the mess of memes and blogs and social networking and pron.

Wikipedia urges you to take action, but today we ask you to not take any action at all.

Let it happen. Allow the Internet to be purified.

"Imagine a world without LOLCATS,BRONIES and other complete stupidity" -- I don't want to live on this planet anymore!


Yep that's right today/yesterday (18th January 2012) is the blackout for SOPA which is affecting everyone. The battle has been going on several months ago. I still can't believe a lot of citizens of the Internet did not know what SOPA is! It's the "Stop Online Piracy Act" where the US govt are trying their best to ban social sharing sites like megaupload and file share; this is supported by the rich and powerful who don't want any one to siphon off their money, when they've already got so much. So if we just innocently share a picture or song online, we can get sued just for the latter. Rubbish ain't it?

Why this is relevant in politics?

Net-izens and youngsters alike LOVE the Internet and we have this care free attitude and sense of freedom when online, able to escape into the world of imagination that is up to you to decide. And Politics, yes, the only time youngsters will ever be involved in politics is when the Internet is Threatened!

Now who can survive without Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia, Nico Nico Douga and all those stupid sites we enjoy going to! Let's hope SOPA does not pass.

We demand Internet rights to creativity and freedom of expression. If this crappy useless contract passes we won't even be able to blog, Tumblr, YouTube and torrent such anymore. Do you see the power of the youth and the Internet?
