The US gov’t is going to pass a bill that will allow them to censor any copyrighted content that they think may have infringing activity.
"The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to pass the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act ( COICA), moving the legislation one step closer to reality. The law would give the U.S. Attorney General’s office the right to shut down websites that it deems are participating in piracy and "infringing activities" without due process or proof that a copyright "crime" has been committed.
The law would allow the government to blacklist a website that had “no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than” sharing unauthorized copyrighted material. Sites would be blacklisted from the Domain Name System, credit card companies would be forbidden to process payments, and advertisers would be banned from placing ads on the site.”
Tum/b/lr, this is your first mission. Anonymous has a plan and we need your help.
Operation: Anonymous is in effect. (No artwork, no posters, no nothing… cute images of tumblr-tan and anon raiding being the exception)
NO POSTERS ABOUT THIS OPERATION. This needs to be disseminated in a way that can’t be traced to us.
Phase 1: Post info about this bill EVERYWHERE. Tumblr-tans, this is your first mission. This is not about the states, this is about the entire internet. Make this viral as shit. Get the entire internet talking.
Phase 2: Get the right wing media involved. Contact Glen Beck saying how concerned you are that the government has seen fit to take away our freedoms. Rage about how this is just another perfect example of dems loving big government.
Phase 3: Get the left involved. Contact Keith Oberman. Say how it’s such a shame that the Republicans keep wanting to control every aspect of our lives, etc. Use your own judgement.
The trick here is to get both the left and the right arguing about who’s idea this all was. Make both extremes distance themselves. Make it seem as though this will cripple anyone’s re-election chances.
Phase 4: Second wave of social media. Point out how it’s a shame that after this passes it’s only a matter of time before porn is taken off the internet. That’ll get the public involved.
Phase 5: Second wave of senatorial contact. Make it clear *POLITELY* that any senator who supports this will not be getting re-elected.
If all five phases are done, IN ORDER, even if this does cross the president’s desk, he won’t be able to sign it lest he fuck up his re-election chances. Remember. This is an UNDERGROUND op. No fucking anon posters. We can’t let this be traced to us.
Disseminate the information quickly. Post fliers IRL. We need to act swiftly and decisively.
Godspeed tum/b/lrs
And god help us all.
