How Free You are on The Internet

How Free You are on The Internet???? Is a Question and let me discuss this.

Internet Death Penalty Would Take Away Global Internet Integrity and Communication Freedom!!

Internet Freedom may led You to Prison, Social networking sites may be gateway to dark tunnel. Hey! Need not worry but be careful while browsing, sharing, posting.
I remember saying my friend “Truth would led to short term problem but long term happiness, Lie would led to short term happiness but long term trouble.” When the Internet browsing inspite of all security measures was not safe and secure because we Internet surfers are not really careful doing that and relentlessly browse and share. The beginning of year 2012 has set ALARM to Internet browsing when the complete world is submerged in social media activities and cannot think of life without Google search, Yahoo shopping, Bing, Facebook sharing, Twitter tweets… so we all need to put a step ahead and look what is making so much of fuss.
I was Googling as it is in my daily routine and the news - SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, & H.R. 1981 Vs Internet Freedom was really something I could not stop going through.
SOPA: Stop Online Piracy Act
PIPA: PROTECT IP Act
ACTA: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

SOPA was introduced in the House as H.R. 3261 by Lamar Smith (R-TX) on October 26, 2011 to - "To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of U.S. property, and for other purposes." —H.R. 3261 (Bill 3261 is a proposed law in US). SOPA is similar to PRO-IP Act of 2008 and the corresponding Senate bill, the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) October 2007. PIPA is a limited to domain name system providers, financial companies, and ad networks where as SOPA covers companies providing Internet connectivity.

18th January Internet Blackout Day: Platorms and sources that are taken as source of trust worthy information skew the facts and provide wrong information to attract users and this is big threat. Comprehensive protest by web companies and organizations, Internet companies that offer web services was observed on 18th January 2012. They protested by displaying black banners over their logos (blackout their site for a day), posted links and images, petition drives and other protest action were taken in protest to raise awarness; few of them are Google, Wikipedia, Mozilla, Reddit etc. You can find the list here: SOPA Strike

Opponents of the bill have proposed the Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN) as an alternative.
