Holy crap, in the “About the Author” section under the article…
“Internet-connected devices like cars, smart sensors and toasters…”
Wait until I can say “The government wiped out my toaster.”
Coming true.

@afowler thanks Alex – I was focussing mostly on the blackouts and while I was aware of Mozilla’s opposition to SOPA, I hadn’t seen any announcements as to how exactly you were planning to participate in the blackouts tomorrow. I have updated the story.

Frederic, thanks for your article. Just to correct one error, we were among the first organizations to agree to participate in tomorrow’s protest and helped to recruit other major players to join the campaign.
