This blog is very interesting, because it makes the already shifty SOPA battleground even more difficult to understand because while Google is publicly against SOPA, they are already secretly capitulating with the government and beginning.
ReplyDeleteHey sam -
ReplyDeleteI really like how recent this article is
The fact that SOPA is even effecting Google, one of the biggest websites in the WORLD, is crazy
There are millions and millions of illegal websites and posts in google, and SOPA trying to stop that will take forever.
Thanks for the post, Sam
