Certains Sénateurs américains veulent bloquer de larges pans de l'internet via une liste noire — un peu comme ce qui a cours en Chine et en Iran.

Il s'agit d'une proposition inacceptable qui doit être combattue, même depuis le Canada (parce que nous serons les prochains à devoir en souffrir).

Voici un message qui a été expédié aux membres de la liste de diffusion de Demand Progress:

• Thanks to you and more than 300,000 other Americans who have signed our petition opposing the "Internet Blacklist Bill" we've been able to put the brakes on this terrible legislation.
  
  The bill -- formally called the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) -- would give government officials the power to force Internet service providers to block your access to certain sites. It's shockingly similar to what goes on in places like China and Iran -- and it's the kind of thing that's just not supposed to happen here.
  
  We delivered your petition to the Senate's most powerful players, and one bold Senator -- Oregon's Ron Wyden -- made it clear that he's on our side: He put what's known as a "hold" on the bill, blocking it from passage this session.
  
  As the New Year begins and the new Congress is sworn in, will you sign on to our message of thanks to Ron Wyden, and ask him to keep fighting through next session?
  
  The big business lobby wants to censor the Internet, and is putting lots of pressure on Wyden to back down: the bill will almost certainly be taken up anew when the Senate reconvenes, and we need him and other Senators to stand strong.
  
  Please click here to let Senator Wyden know that you appreciate his stand in support of Internet freedom, and that we'll have his back as he presses forward.
  
  Thanks for keeping up the fight.
