Sopa Blackout. Are YOU going on strike?
Assuming we're all in sync with the issue, which Kenyan companies are going to protest? Blackout or otherwise? -- Sent from my mobile device OO www.omingoobiko.com
Difficult to protest in Kenya, as the law is a US law, but one can create awareness
Well, the law has been especially made for foreign websites !! you are in Kenya, you launch a website hosted in Kenya speaking about, I don't know, as an example, about US involvement in a traffic of weapons in Somalia, then the US Govt can just bring you site down by contacting DNS providers and forcing search engines not to index your website = call this censorship On 18 January 2012 09:58, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, aware of the effect on foreign websites, but wondering what options we have , since we can't conduct our senators. It is for this reason that SOPA opponents are pointing out that the world might decide to come up with its own set up independent of US firms, hence depriving the US of their Internet stranglehold, in other words, they cannot win this one, seeing that even taking down piratebay.org proved impossible.

Hi, Just for information, which sites in Kenya have joined the protest? Have read the two bills and they not good. If enacted, they will change the internet completely as we know it today Let us stick to vision of the the founders "no one owns the internet." Regards Shadrack Mwaniki
Not having had time to read the bills, what are the issues being disputed in summary? Can Kenyans really do anything seeing that the internet was not invented by us? :-) On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 2:27 PM, Shadrack Mwaniki < shadrack_mwaniki@yahoo.com> wrote:

As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
