You've likely noticed the effects or heard of today's Internet blackout in protest of the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA). One of those sites participating in the protest, Reddit, has pledged to go dark for 12 hours, and it's taken the opportunity to ditch the debates and memes in favor of calls to action.
SOPA and its counterpart in the U.S. Senate, PIPA, "...will cause too much collateral damage, have a high potential for abuse, and won't even be that effective at stopping the crimes they target,” Reddit says.
Check out the video above to learn more about Reddit's stance on SOPA.
