I think it's really unpopular on HN and on websites with "tech" in the name, but is the general electorate even aware of the issue? I don't see much about SOPA in the MSM (admittedly the last several months have had a lot of news-worthy events).
- Natsu 15y agoThe news still seems largely contained to the tech circles, though the GoDaddy story managed to get a lot of press.
- vectorpush 15y agobut is the general electorate even aware of the issue? I would argue that the tech media is pretty hip these days and not as far removed from the general electorate as you might think, but only time will tell.
- RyanMcGreal 15y agoPurely anecdotal, but I have had a number of totally non-technical friends and acquaintances come up to me lately to express concerns about SOPA/PIPA and what it might mean for the internet, the critical importance of which even non-technical people clearly understand.
