Seems like shutting down a website is easy for them, they just flood it with hits using some computer magic.

Loads of sites got slammed today.

The timing of the MU shutdown seems suspect, but some of the charges are pretty intense.

Funny thing about google, they have been doing things that are in this bill for years.
But, their little black patch was worth a chuckle.

» Google Is Already Using SOPA-Like Censorship Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Despite Google’s much-heralded support for the anti-SOPA movement, the web giant is already enforcing SOPA-like policies of its own, blacklisting legitimate websites from its news aggregator and following government orders to remove material from its search results and You Tube.

hmm interesting

"Google-owned You Tube has complied with thousands of requests worldwide to remove political protest videos that are clearly not in violation of any copyright or national security interests and do not constitute defamation.
The number of takedown orders received by Google from authorities based in the United States rose dramatically over the past year, with demands to remove information increasing by 70 per cent. Google complied in removing the material in 63% of the cases.
One such example was You Tube’s compliance with a request from the British government to censor footage of the British Constitution Group’s Lawful Rebellion protest, during which they attempted to civilly arrest Judge Michael Peake at Birkenhead county court."

Lamar pulled the bill for now, but there's still The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011 to worry about. This bill will require ISP's to collect your internet history and store it for 18 months, along with your name, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and IP addresses. This bill is an insane breach of personal freedom veiled behind a name that suggests good intentions. Quite ridiculous.

IMO, there is absolutely no way that this passes.

Just read the wiki. Never heard of it. This part sounds shady...

Both the Bush administration and the Obama administration had rejected requests to make the text of ACTA public, with the White House saying that disclosure would cause "damage to the national security."[88] In 2009, Knowledge Ecology International filed a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request in the United States, but their entire request was denied. The Office of the United States Trade Representative's Freedom of Information office stated the request was withheld for being material "properly classified in the interest of national security."[89] US Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) penned a letter on 23 November 2009, asking the United States Trade Representative to make the text of the ACTA public.[90]
