SOPA fail

If SOPA is passed then would it not be possible for the government to control our media and create biased opinions throughout the country. The government would be able to censor websites and define what is "appropriate." While piracy is a problem, I feel that the goal of this bill is more for government power and being able to control our media. If SOPA is passed then our democratic country will become more authoritarian.

1.Opponents claim that it violates the First Amendment, is Internet censorship, will cripple the Internet, and will threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions
2. "The single biggest funder of circumvention tools has been and remains the U.S. government, precisely because of the role the tools play in online activism. It would be highly counter-productive for the U.S. government to both fund and outlaw the same set of tools."
3.Marvin Ammori has stated the bill might make The Tor Project illegal. Originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Laboratory, the Tor Project creates encryption technology used by dissidents in repressive regimes (that consequently outlaw it). Ammori says that the US Supreme Court case of Lamont v. Postmaster General 381 U.S. 301 (1965) makes it clear that Americans have the First Amendment right to read and listen to such foreign dissident free speech, even if those foreigners themselves lack an equivalent free speech right (for example under their constitution or through Optional Protocols under the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights).
