There is a bill before congress that if passed will force ISPs to block sites with offensive content, and basically gives the government the authority to block any and all sites that anyone says infringes upon their copyrighted ideas without need of showing proof, without question, and without giving a single warning to the owner of the site. This means that your blog, your twitter account, your facebook account, any sites or blogs that you visit, youtube, and many, many more sites could sudenly become illegal and censored by the united states government. Any comment that you make that any person finds offensive to them in any way will bsically make it so that you and every site/blog/etc that you own are effectively banned from the internet without warning and with no hope of ever getting them back. It is, basically, the death of the first amendment. And if Congress can so easily kill the freedom that it grants us, what others might they so easily strike down? Do not let them get their foot in the door with this. Send them a message that you will not stand for it.
