Just curious if anyone here has heard about this and planning on participating. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/04/21/anonymous-plans-internet-blackout-tomorrow-to-protest-cispa-video/ While I think CISPA is wrong and hope it is vetoed, I'm not sure that I can give up my internet for day just to protest.

It passed the House, it still needs to get through the Senate and the President.

Unfortunately, I could not stay completely offline, since I had an important email and other business. But I am avoiding Facebook, and other than trying to get here, spending less time online over all.

I'm at a point where petitions and protests feel meaningless, so I'm not bothering. I do have an activist mindset but I'd rather put my effort into something more likely to actually create change (or prevent it, as the case may be).
