SOPA

If the internet had existed during the time 1984 took place, SOPA would have been one of the laws passed. It seems to fit right in because they are all about editing, monitoring and picking what the people in the party see and hear. The bill was said to be passed to stop piracy, but if the government or internet provider will be the ones picking and determining what sites have piracy. So they could shut down any sites they choose to, and no other explanation will be needed other then it has piracy. Some of our favorite sites could be shut down and will be if such bill is passed. I think that this bill relates so much to the principles of the party, especially the inner party. In the book, they control just about everything the people hear and see; and in my opinion this is exactly what the government is trying to do in passing this bill. If you take the time to compare what they do it the book and what this bill will do, there is not much difference other than ours is on the internet and theirs is basically their whole life style. And maybe this seems minor or not that big of a deal, but what if this was just a start to what the party and big brother have done to the people; because I am sure this mind control in the book didn’t just happen over nigh, it much have developed over many years. I think that SOPA is a start to the government attempting to control what we see and hear.
