Normally I wouldn't put this here, but it affects two different worlds, and could threaten the whole Big Brother thing that we've been trying to avoid for years. However this time it's going to be far worse since it deals with Internet privacy. There's a site that's right now trying to fight what's called CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) and the thing is that if this actually passes, it will be one of the worst things to come out of Washington since the Bush Regime ran the place, and to top it off it's being forced by the Republicans as well.
One of the things that I've noticed when it comes to the Federal government is that when a law is passed (even when it has been specific to one thing only), they tend to ignore the specific parts and make it so that it encompasses everything and everyone, and honestly this is the last thing that we need right now. After all this would be like the Patriot Act only for the on-line world instead, and we've all seen how bad that became now didn't we.
However there is a ray of sunshine that we can all latch onto to make sure that this thing dies a horrible death (and the President has already said that he would veto this bill once it hit his desk, but it's trying to get it killed before hand that's being worked on right now), there's a site that several people are going to in order to make sure that this does die a horrible death, the site is called Demand in Progress and it's working right now to make sure that those going to Washington know how bad this bill really is.
Personally I would rather not have another version of the Patroit Act that really doesn't help anyone at all and considering that it makes everyone a suspect to each other, and that's really the last thing that anyone wants if we're trying to reach a peaceful world. So check out both links and see what you think, and try to help what you can.
