Nothing! Well, ok, not nothing...but not what I was looking for (which was, ironically, a list of internationally banned books).
If you're reading this AFTER January 18th...wikipedia basically shut down its site in protest of the SOPA bill, which if passed has the ability to greatly undermine internet freedom of speech. You can read more about it here. The bill is meant to protect copyright...but can block websites which publish user content (like blogger, you tube, pinterest, Facebook, university websites which publish student work, flickr, etc..) if their users postup copyrighted material.
My husband accually just got a change to meet with a representative of John Cornyn along with some other geeks (um...sorry...computer professionals) who were concerned about the implications of this bill. Since he was a sponsor (or co-sponsor...can't remember) of this bill I'm not sure if it will help but we're hopeful!
