I decided when I heard of this that if it were somehow to gain support, I'd move to Canada. Nothing has changed since, and damn it if I'm not unceremoniously using my 500th post like this. Ahh well.

You know that the president already has the authority this bill "gives" him right? And to top it off, he can at any time order all American web sites shut down for "security reasons." And Canadians, I wouldn't be so smug, most of your internet runs through the U.S. at some point, making any of those sites that run through here subject to the same laws and restrictions.
Uh, not really? You don't understand how the internet works do you.
All your internet runs from your ISP to one of about 15 Tier 1 providers that connect to each other. The majority of them are owned by companies in the United States.

Yes, I am familiar with the internet backbone, thank you. I phrased what I meant kind of bad...and I'm tired right now, maybe I'll explain in the morning.
And I'm American. Not Canadian.
