I'm canadaian, and these laws treat lawful canadian domains like .ca and .gc like american domains, and stuff that is owned by canada, and the US can threaten not only CANADIAN companies, but companies all around the world into Bolcking sites IN CANADA AND ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER even if there is no such legislation. this law would grant the US authority to just plain remove any site off the net with a .net, .edu, .ca, .com, .org, .gc, .qc, and many more, any type of domain registered by the ARIN(the domain registry for ALL of NORTH AMERICA). I find this just uphauling, and censorship of the internet just because Disney pictures over in holywood doesnt like it? this is just seriously just abuse of power. If the USA got nuked by russia after this I would just applaud the russians for saving free speach for the rest of the world.
