As Congress Resumes Discussing SOPA And PIPA, Show Your Opposition With #BlackoutSOPA

Screen Shot 2012-01-09 at 3.58.31 PMIt's 2012, and the uncorruptible and brilliant technical minds in Congress are back from vacation and once again working to pass two bills that would rewrite (and most likely ruin) how our internet works. So here's another way to tell the world how you feel about the underhandedly titled Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate.Go to a new site called BlackoutSOPA.org, and create a new profile photo for yourself, that you can easily install on Twitter or download to put on Facebook, Tumblr or any other site you want. Created by Hunter Walk and Gregor Hochmuth, the site offers three profile images to choose from: a simple pitch-black one, which is both easy to create on your own, and a little too subtle for the issue in my opinion; a slightly less conceptual one that just says "Stop SOPA" in place of your photo; or one that lets you easily layer the text "Stop SOPA" beneath your existing profile image.
