Thanks to the unprecedented support by tech-giants like Google, Wikipedia etc. and online protests by almost ever major website the United States SOPA Act did not got passed, but things will soon get horrible as a tougher CISPA variant of SOPA is expected to be made a US law - as unlike previously major internet players like Microsoft and Facebook are supporting it.

CISPA - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act would put an end to a users right to online privacy and give companies the power to collect private-information on their users and share it, the bill under it's overly broad, vague definition, of a "Cyber threat" will put whistle-blowers, websites like Wikileaks, media sites carrying private investigations/sting operations in public interest, blogs carrying rumors and gossips, copyright violating websites like torrent portals and file-sharing sites etc. an easy target for government agencies.
