Why I participated in the SOPA Protests
Yesterday, I joined thousands (or more) websites and social media accounts in protest of SOPA/PIPA as they work their way through our congress. While I know that I don’t get the kind of traffic that the other sites and Twitter users who participated got, I still felt that it was important to use this venue to raise awareness for and encourage action on this important issue. Even if the only person I influenced to action were the aunts that commented on my anti-SOPA/PIPA Facebook status that they too were contacting their representatives, I felt that my efforts were worthwhile.
