Google is the latest company to come forward against anti-online piracy bills in Congress. The search giant on Wednesday will place a link on its homepage to highlight the opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act, Business Week reports.

“We oppose these bills because there are smart, targeted ways to shut down foreign rogue websites without asking American companies to censor the Internet,” Google spokeswoman Samantha Smith told BW.

Wikipedia and Reddit are planning to go dark on Wednesday to protest the bills.
