Tonight while researching on anything new about Aya Kamiki (as I listen to her albums "CONSTELLATION", "W.H.Y.", and "Ashita no tameni-Forevermore"), I happened to click on Wikipedia and was greeted by this:
Is the U.S. government afraid now of the internet after seeing how this technology brought down dictators in Libya and its surrounding countries? Is it afraid that more protests will be spawned especially with the economic crisis the world is suffering from? Is it afraid to see more enlightened souls who can no longer believe in the government and the principles they supposedly espouse after the Wikileaks scandals?
The internet is a free sphere and it should remain so. With SOPA and PIPA, information on the internet will be restricted. This will result to monopoly by the powerful and the rich (and more often than not, they are evil who are all out for world domination). This means that the small voices which have proliferated the internet since the emergence of blogs and social networking sites will once again lose these voices.
We have already entered the digital age. We have already been accustomed to being exposed to copious information from multiple perspectives. Let us not go back to the time when power is concentrated to a select few.
