Spitfire Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I don't know much about these American bill things (cause I'm from Scotland) but there's one that clearly states that media services (like youtube) are at risk of being shut down by the American Goverment and please, if you know about this bill tell me which one it is, anyway if things go as planned the bill will be put into place tomorrow, and youtube, as at least one of you peeps must know, often has content which is well.....not allowed on public internet websites, so if this bill goes as planned, youtube could possibly be shut down.

Fire Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 yea, that bill has been going around. but it wouldnt shut down the site completely. Just the channel that it was posted on for example, if "ted" has a video talking about how much mw3 sucks. activision could close ted's account. The bill will likely be stopped AND youtube has out-of country servers. its safe bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it would be put into a list that would consider it a "rouge" site, giving us either a warning or not even allowing us to go onto it. Basically our internet would be like China's.

Twinreaper Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Griff, the two bills you are referring to are SOPA and Protect IP. I have a thread pinned to the top of this forum section if you want to go there, click the link to it and read about the bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinntinteranC Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I saw something about this on the word of notch. If it really does shut down entire websites, about every forum that is run on a US server will be shut down. I doubt they would make it that strict.
