Internet Censorship
If you haven't already heard of SOPA, it's bill going through committee in the US that basically allows the US government to censor the internet, and makes website owners liable for what users post.
All of us need to protest.
The bill means the government can block what YOU view because one person posts something that infringes copyright. That means all video streaming sites are vulnerable, all forums, all pet sites that allow user content, all social networking sites, the moment someone notices a user posting copyrighted material.
It means that web site owners will be legally liable for what their users post, as opposed to now, where they are required to remove content upon being notified of the infringement. And I dunno about you but that sounds like death to user content everywhere.
The efforts of everyone is necessary in making sure Congress hears our outcry about this. To learn more, search for SOPA in an internet search engine and look at the recent news articles, or go to AmericanCensorship.org.

Hahahaha! I just found out something funny by the way and sorry if I double post.
SOPA is "A Beating" if you translate it from Azerbaijani to English.

That's not fair. People have rights to post what they want and when they want. Where do I protest?

Why can't they work on fixing the country instead of this?? We don't need that kind of censorship on the Internet! It's not like we're China. Geez.
