The draft of Rep. Darrell Issa’s new U.S. pirate site blocking bill ‘ACPA’ is not without controversy. In public comments, opponents warn that the bill’s legal framework risks overblocking, which can impact legitimate sites and services. And in a new twist, it appears the bill may come with a potential self-destruct button: a “sunsetting clause”.
If it’s anything like the way they handled the last round of censorship shit, nobody will be able to mention words like pirate, download, game, movie, etc. anywhere on the internet…
