It could potentially happen.
I’m talking about a bill on the fast track in the House right now, that could change the way we use the internet forever.
The bill is called PIPA (Protect IP Act).
Its cousin bill called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) got pulled from the house floor.
Just how bad is PIPA? ..
Let’s just say that sites like Facebook and Twitter could potentially be shut down because of user posted content.
To show support for the bill, Wikipedia is shutting down the English version of their site for 24 hours.
Below is a video explaining exactly how the bill works.
I will put a link to a few resources with more details after the video.
