On November 16th, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does, the Internet and free speech will never be the same. The US will be able to block a site’s web traffic, ad traffic and search traffic using the same website censorship methods used by China, Iran and Syria. A few infringing links are enough to justify censoring an entire site, blocking good content along with the bad. Your favorite websites both inside and outside the US could be blocked based on an infringement claim. For example, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, even YouTube are websites that will be affected!
Support American Censorship Day; sign this petition and stop this bill from passing NOW!
