This is some very scary legislation from the USA that will effect the DNS system & internet as a whole. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this.
This law is so fucking scary that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales (the guy who doesn't show ads on Wikipedia) is considering blocking all US Wikipedia visitors in protest.
This law gives the US government the right to block/ban website root DNS queries generally without any recourse.
This law isn't about piracy, this is about
censorship and 1 government will now basically decide for the world what is "allowed" online (since the US generally controls the root DNS servers).
This is some scary shit.
