Doodlekit To Shut Down Free Plan Websites For 12 Hours

Wednesday, January 18th, 8am - 8pm EST

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Doodlekit has joined the SOPA/PIPA internet blackout protest with many other major internet companies to bring attention to the fact that Congress is trying to passing two well-intentioned (but deeply flawed) bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.

These laws would hold Internet Service Provider and Public Social Media websites (like Doodlekit, Facebook, Wikipedia, Reddit, etc.) liable for all content posted by their users. This in effect would force us to remove all our FREE PLAN websites as we could get sued or shut down for content our users post that the government feels is a violation of these acts.

"Censorship begets censorship, and inherently defies oversight. SOPA is the wrong solution to any problem we might believe it would solve." - Neil Stevens
