If only Google or Facebook would use their homepage status to get the word out to the majority of the population. A blacked-out Google Doodle or a notification at the top of the Facebook newsfeed would go a very long way.
- cfontes 15y agoIndeed... I am from Brazil and I wish i could help in someway, because this are terrible news.

- dylangs1030 15y ago? Google is the largest company standing in public opposition to the SOPA bill, and has publicized its concerns at the hearings.
- Alex3917 15y agoFair enough, and I saw their newspaper ad also. That said, I think any real attempt at killing this bill needs to include a show of grassroots opposition, not merely trying to out-hollywood hollywood with money and public testimony.
- gabaix 15y agoListening to Google right now at the hearing. They do a pretty good job educating the room with the problems with this bill.

- iamandrus 15y agoUnfortunately I doubt Facebook will even mention the SOPA law. Google might put a small piece of text on the bottom of the home page about it, but even then that's a big "maybe."
- ticks 15y agoI don't think Google should politicise its homepage, same goes for Facebook. Once you start opening the floodgates, you start to polarise your service to political persuasions.
