it’s not just craigslist, wiki is down too.
the government want to pass this bill to allow for the government to be able to tell us “the american public” what we can and can’t see online. similar to TV, this bill will be more strict against copyright laws or controversial topics or even swearing.
this type of bill could become something to end most forums as we know it, as well as most of the sites you visit on a regular basis.
example… no one could post on youtube anymore, a song of them lip syncing to a popular song. that would be a copyright law that would allow the US Government to remove that from the internet.
it’s similar to the patriot act, but cranked up to 11, and have a much wider wrath.
this is not a good bill to pass
It could remove youtube from the web completely if they wanted to using this law. I’m sure the politicians would be using this to make money shortly after. You would have to pay for the protection from the government bankrupting your company.
