I know what SOPA is: SOPA (n:) Definition: A law going through Congress that is *supposed* to cut down on online piracy. However, major flaws presist: 1. This is the internet, does the government really think that they can control something VIRTUAL that expands every second? 2. It causes an invasion of online privacy by allowing ISPs to track customer traffic 3. It violates the 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech 4. Even IF it works, darknets and undercover "internets" will probably be created in the process 5. As (i think) Google put it, it will cause a "Data Obfuscation Arms Race", meaning methods of bypass and blocking will be frequently spat out at an alarmingly fast rate, which is kind of counterproductive to the bill's motive. There. I've made my point. Not EVERYONE on ROBLOX does NOT know what SOPA is. Then again, a majority does not. Im one of the few that does. |

| I have to disagree, Crazy. That is not explaining what SOPA is, that is Builderman's (David Baszuki's) thought on it. I am part of the 1% that actually understands how politics work, and it makes me want to move out of the United States. Everything is corrupt. |

@ Daw True. But at least he still knows something. I'm sick of idiots thinking all the internet will be shut down. If the American chaos shuts down, the world will fall in an economic crisis. We buy tons of stuff from many countries, America has a big debt on us. MANY MANY other countries use the internet. We have tons of information and assets on the web, and tons of documents. If the internet shuts down, the force it will have on the world will probably the same as 10+ nukes. |

Ikr? Just about everyone hates it more than Telamon, that is why the whole community has stopped spamming around and banded together for a common cause |

Actually read the bill and/or, and time probably persists this be a better choice, a summary, and realize that no, you really don't know what SOPA is.
"3. It violates the 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech"
No, not even. If anything, It would violate the "Freedom of Press" part of the First Amendment, but in no way does it persist to the Freedom of Speech part. |
