from an email from Politico:
Obama administration officials said in a blog post today that they would "not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet." The White House did not take a definite position on SOPA and the PROTECT IP Act, but said "the DNS filtering provisions in some proposed legislation suggests that they pose a real risk to cybersecurity and yet leave contraband goods and services accessible online." The officials said, however, that legislation is needed to combat online piracy.
Sounds good on the surface.
Good, not great. Would like to have seen a much firmer position on SOPA and PIPA. But it is a start, and seems to mean that if we keep the pressure on we may be able to keep the internet from being destroyed,
