SOPA
There is another attempt to regain control by US government and big corporations over the content posted on the Internet. This time it's called SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act, which gives broad powers to private actors. Any holder of intellectual property rights could simply send a letter to ad network operators like Google and to payment processors like MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal, demanding these companies cut off access to any site the IP holder names as an infringer. - Arstechnica
It means that my entire website might be blocked in USA on request from Tesla Motors because I posted pictures of their car on previous DevLog post.
Please, take a look at this case and consider participation in spreading information, because if it gets passed, we all will be affected.
Also US Congress clearly tries to hide information from general public about session results by publishing official delay on next year, but in fact it will be brought up again on 21st December.
