Internet Giants To Use Nuclear Option To Oppose SOPA

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1...n-to-stop-SOPA

The NetCoalition is made up of AOL, eBay, Facebook, foursquare, Google, IAC, Linkedin, Mozilla, OpenDNS, PayPal, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo! and the Zynga Game Network. If all of these websites were to act simultaneously, both national commerce and the day-to-day life of the majority of Americans would be disrupted with an anti-SOPA message.

Whether even that dramatic move would stop SOPA is impossible to know, but at the very least it would mean that SOPA and PIPA would no longer be niche issues that relatively few Americans have heard about. While nothing would be guaranteed, sunlight can sometimes be the best way to stop bad legislation.
