    Also alot of people will have heard of it by now and I have never seen people as scared and spamming details about it for people object which to me seems like alot of people are scared it will get passed, I have seen no information so say otherwise I have seen popups about it, and seen people posting on twitter people are scared and that only happens if theres a good chance a controversial law is going to get passed.
    /sigh

    even if by some miracle this bill managed to be passed by congress, it's gonna get veto'd by the white house, and this does not nearly have enough support in congress to even remotely come close to having enough votes to overwrite the veto - not to mention the blatant over-reach and vagueness of the language means it won't survive the supreme court even if it gets that far, which it won't.

    It's not wrong to be concerned and put in the efforts to make sure this won't pass as a citizen, but worrying about it as if it's already signed into law is tantamount to building a shelter in your basement to hide from the invading alien from mars.

    also, twitter is a bad way to judge whether congress will get anything passed :P

    You never know how senitors will vote, but the entire US population is scared that it could get passed, which means something, I will admit I am in the UK, so I dont hear the big picture so I could miss alot but this is the first time I have ever seen publicity like this apart from a presidential election, with the publicity there could be a good chance it will not get passed, but the companies have more power than the goverment because without companies there is no economy and the country goes bankrupt, the music and film industries carry alot of power in the US, so I dont believe even if it fails we have heard the last of it.
