Protesting SOPA and PIPA: Call Your Representative Now` There are two proposed pieces of legislation in motion right now in Congress that threaten our free and democratic Internet and infringe on our basic rights, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). These bills aim to curb online piracy by allowing copyright holders to request removal of websites hosting copyrighted content. However, critics argue that they could lead to censorship and harm legitimate businesses and individuals who rely on the Internet for their livelihoods. The bills have sparked widespread protests across the country, with many calling for citizens to contact their representatives to express opposition to the legislation. Several apps are available to help facilitate this process, including those powered by Twilio, allowing users to easily dial in to make their voices heard.
