Tumblr just put up this site warning people about the dangers of PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Read up, kids. This is important.
Your morning homework: Read this letter from AOL, eBay, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Mozilla, Twitter, Yahoo!, & Zynga. Then visit Tumblr’s page and take action.
Some more links which might be useful:
- Avaaz launched an online petition yesterday - at 67k signatures and counting. They need 100k+ to get it in front of congress
- Site organising a censorship protest here
- Electronic Frontier Foundation also campaigning

Maureen Johnson: ASK AUNTIE MJ: "BUT...THE INTERNET IS ON!" →
navigatefreedom asked you:
How am I supposed to motivate myself when I have the wide world of tumblr sitting here?

so when she says she is turning the internet off, she does LITERALLY mean it.
