Still PIPA (Protect IP Act) is being pushed, which is as bad as SOPA is.

None of those three that you mention are participating, I believe it's partly because of recent amendments to SOPA, and partly because they're international organisations that serve more than just Americans. It wouldn't be good business. Especially not when Facebook is rumoured to be going for an IPO (initial Public Offering), and the last thing they want to be seen as are activists in any form.

Yes, right when Facebook has always been making some sort of stand against the privacy of its users. To be honest, the message needs to be sent. This really isn't good law, and piracy will have to be handled some other way as always. Even the White House disagrees (or at least it did when I heard it).

What would have been great if today both google and facebook would have taken their sites down for today or even half a day. English wikipedia is dark for today as are a couple of gaming sites. It would have shown what it could be like if ppl really take advantage of bad lawmaking
One great video about PIPA

Seemingly good news. At least they may be reworded now, but I doubt they will go away completely.
