What does this mean for you and your blogs? Congress is attempting to block Americans from visiting sites that have as little as one infringing link (think pirated or downloadable material) and is the same type of censorship used in China, Iran and Syria.
Besides obvious music blogs and sites that may be using copyrighted music tracks, videos, and more, email providers and social networks will also be affected. Yep, that means tumblr, Blogger, facebook, twitter, even our beloved pinterest could be under attack.

“When ideas are blocked, information deleted, conversations stifled and people constrained in their choices, the Internet is diminished for all of us.. There isn’t an economic Internet and a social Internet and a political Internet. There’s just the Internet.” - Hillary Clinton, United States Secretary of State
