We did it, two minuets after Youth News reported on the SOPA laws, rumours broke that the controversial laws had been postponed, I knew having Barack on the mailing list was a good idea!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that "in light of recent events" the "stop online piracy act" and the "stop IP" bills would be "postponed."

One can only presume he was referring to the protests reported upon in Youth New's earlier post

There are two ways of looking at this it appears to me: Either this is a positive step for freedom of speech in the USA and shows how sustained campaigning can have a real impact. However it could be argued that this shows the US Senate buckling under the corporate pressure of high profile internet giants.

Whatever the case i can certainly get away with posting this official photo of the white house for a little while yet!
