Neterra supported the biggest online protest in the Internet history. During the whole day Neterra's corporate website was opening up with a message, highlighting the potential harm of passing the law against online privacy - SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act). Google, Wikipedia, Craigslist, The Huffington Post, Wordpress blogging platform and hundreds of websites joined the protest each in a different way.
The main aim of the act is to fight for copyrights protection in the global network by forcing Internet service providers to block access to sites, which offer content that violates the intellectual property rights.
The bill SOPA is not limited only to USA but directly affects all websites globally. If passed, the act would allow US state administration to enforce the American websites and search engines to block all links to web pages, which are suspected in violation of copyrighted intellectual property. They would have the right to block web addresses in the DNS server systems, they could also block financial transactions through US payment systems. Publishing text advertisements and banners of such websites would be also banned.
All of this leads to censorship of Internet content globally, disguised under the phrase "copyrights protection."
