SOPA is gone....But from what I've heard, they are basically slipping SOPA into a clause of another act that congress members would be afraid to object.

Yep, while were all up in arms about SOPA and PIPA, this little gem slipped thru and I heard they are gonna vote on it soon. The thing is, it will have similar or maybe even worse effects than SOPA/PIPA and you can't openly defend against it without being called a pedophile. It's genius really.

Well, they are just trying to protect your "children".

I'm all for proctecting children from being use like that. Any sensible parent would too. Somebody in this other thread i read about put it quite nicely but i forgot his name. (It only really applies during face to face discussions. Most people over the net should know why anybody would reject this bill)
