The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a bill sponsored by Rep. Elton Gallegly. This bill drastically expands the power of the federal government and enables it to censor the Internet.
Companies that do understand, such as Google, Ebay, Microsoft, reddit, Tumblr, Twitter and Wikipedia, have come out against this bill as it threatens California technology companies and cripples the Internet.
While piracy is a legitimate concern, this bill allows the federal government to shut down any site that has one single link to any copyrighted material, meaning if your son posts a video on Youtube that includes a copyrighted song, the government can shut down all of Youtube or Facebook or Google or any other Internet company.
This is not hyperbole, this is literally the end of the Internet as we know it, a draconian and unprecedented expansion of government power that China would be proud of.
