Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 10 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2012/01/20/vigilance-and-victory/#comment-633499 Gabriele Romanato Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:31:40 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/?p=1616#comment-633499 Reasonably one could consider SOPA as a tricky attempt to censor the web, and that’s a fact. Legally speaking, if such a proposal would be accepted, its underlying principle might be applied even to blogs, especially those sites that are politically engaged. Something similar has already happened here in Italy with some dubious verdicts about the legitimacy of certain opinions (political, I mean) expressed by bloggers who have reported abuses from the politics and other people over the years. Sad but true, their blogs were obscured by police, because there was a legal trial in action (yes, that’s how things are in Italy). Eventually their blogs came back online, but the abuse over their owners was already done. These were my two cents on this topic, Eric. Useless to say that I fully endorse your views.
