As many of you know, many websites (Google, Reddit, Wikipedia, BoingBoing, etc.) are taking some form of protest tomorrow (01/18/12) against two pieces of legislation moving through the U.S. House and Senate.

Both SOPA and PIPA seriously jeopardize sites that include user contributed content, like Hubski.

If you are not aware of SOPA and PIPA, please learn more about them, and if you are a U.S. resident, consider contacting your representatives and share your opinion on these proposed bills.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a page to help you find your representatives and draft a letter:

FYI, Hubski won't be blacked out tomorrow. This is not because we don't oppose SOPA and PIPA. We absolutely do. However, the goal of blacking out Hubski would be to raise awareness. I believe that most of you are well aware of these bills, and don't think that a Hubski blackout would draw outside coverage.

Thanks!
