"The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced just one week ago, but it's greased and ready to move, with a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday. If people don't speak out, US citizens could soon find themselves joining Iranians and Chinese in being blocked from accessing broad chunks of the public Internet."
Read about the act here. I do not at all claim to know much about US government policy or process so I'm not sure how close this is to being a real problem or if there is still years of bureaucracy in the way still, but it's probably still worthy of discussion.
Also, All the Other Tech the Senate Would Have Banned that everyone's probably already seen on Slashdot.
