INMATES - Congress is attempting to pass legislation that, despite it's plausible good intentions, could affect freedom of speech on the internet. If passed, the bills would make unauthorized media streaming a felony and hold the web publishers and hosting services responsible for curbing their users from posting copyright-infringed content.
What this means is that a wide range of online communities like YouTube, Twitter,Facebook and Life Behind Bars would have to censor users or get shut down and ordinary users could be imprisoned for five years for posting any copyrighted work.
Considering how much we value our ability to speak our minds, especially within this forum, I highly recommend you read more about this and if you decide you are against this legislation, click the link below and sign the petition (it takes less than 30 seconds). Make your voice heard.
