How much money are these Tech Giants giving to both Parties?

[gogogodzilla]

Good. Now we need to make sure that our politicians know the cost of ever bringing it back up.

[Track9]

Good. Now crumple it up and throw it in the can.

[driftdiver]

They’ll probably attach it to some defense spending bill or something.

The Senate version PIPA (S. 968) is still in play.

So, the first outlet to report this reinforcement of free speech is from somewhere other than the U.S.

Appalling.

[upchuck]

This is absolutely wonderful news. This thread needs to be in breaking news. Especcially since this is Free Republic!

Google and facebook are neck-deep in liberal, Dumocrap poo so’s Craigslist and Wikipedia. Funny how these commie-loving companies start throwing a hissy-fit when their own companies are thrown into the fire. Google cannot operate without search queries so they had to join the “fight”.

It looks like we might have won this battle.

Mixed bag for him, since the Hollywood crowd was for this bill and they gave gim a ton of support last time around.

[Democrat_media]

Yes finally some good news.

[PastorBooks]

“They’ll probably attach it to some defense spending bill or something.”

Bingo. It will be slipped into something like the “Taking Care of Our Military Families and Homeless Puppy Dogs Act.”

[DesertRhino]

“Now we need to make sure that our politicians know the cost of ever bringing it back up.”

Or that they know the cost of even bringing it up AT ALL. There is no excuse for this. The GOP worked hard to pass this,,in an election year, then made Obama look like a hero, “saving” the internet.
Unbelievable.
