SOPA Author and Co-Sponsor violating current SOPA language

Post by bubba »

Take a look at this, the guy who wrote SOPA is being run through the wash by his own bill, and what do ya know SEVERAL violations that would get his site and/or its server blocked from the net.

Roy Blunt from my state Missouri, is the Co-Sponsor of the bill. His twitter page is using an image that was taken from a blog. That could get Twitter shut down under the current language.

We need business leaders in government not politicians. We need people who understand what they are doing before they propose or rule on a bill. Too many times these old farts propose a tech related bill but don't know the first thing about what they are proposing.
