The Internet Defense League formed

JMH · May 28, 2012

In January, when it looked like the SOPA and PIPA bills were going to be passed by the US Congress, thousands of websites banded together and created a "blackout" for one day as a protests against these bills. The effort worked; both SOPA and PIPA were put on hold indefinitely.

Now some of the same people who helped organized these blackouts are getting together again, this time with heroic branding, practically out of a comic book: behold, the Internet Defense League. According to an article on AllThingsD.com, the purpose of the League is to be a kind of advance warning system to the Internet community for threats that might affect the Internet.
