The censorship law that would put offline *lot's* of websites was shoved on a shelf after last night, the White House and pretty much a LOT of public service websites (like google, amazon, minecraft, reddit, twitter, facebook, Red5 Studios, Mozilla, LinkedIn, Wikimedia, Zynga, eBay, 9gag) and Human Rights organizations like RSF and Human Rights Watch due threatning directly the first amendment of the United Stated (freedom of speech).
This is good news for everyone, it only takes common sense to recognize the bill would do more harm than good. Taking away freedom of speech, censoring a lot of websites and creating a major blackout on the internet if the bill was approved.
