It's how the game is played until congress restricts or regulates such influence.
An analogy would be a voter refusing to vote because representatives are not representing the voter. Self-reinforcing view (or exiology).
- nirvana 15y agoWe're talking about websites blacking out their own pages, or advocating that their customers call up their representatives. Are you meaning to endorse congress restricting or regulating such influence? I'd see that as a far worse threat than SOPA. (Maybe you don't disagree.)
- Joakal 15y agoYes, it's acceptable because entrenched conservative interests are against fresh young interests + people with a lot to lose. If such conservative influence against congress was regulated, then the reputation cost of such blackouts would rise a lot due to the perception that such interests are trying to influence congress. ergo, uneconomical to blackout.
