In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed from the internet and not just in the US.
Please see the following article from the Huffington Post for more information.
Stop the Internet Blacklist
And if you are a US citizen, please take the time to sign this petition
DemandProgress.org - Petition to Stop the Internet Blacklist!
Update: Also for US citizens, you can email your Senator from the following link and tell him or her your concerns about this bill
Tell Your Senator: No Website Blacklists, No Internet Censorship!
Update, from EFF's website: the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed the scheduled markup of the Internet censorship bill — a fantastic outcome, given that the entertainment industry and their allies in Congress had hoped this bill would be quickly approved before the Senators went home for the October recess. Massive thanks to all who used the EFF Action Center to write to your Senators to oppose this bill.

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like, but I potential in this to keep the American public in a media blackout scenario. In which case the only media you would have access to is cable tv, or satellite tv, and everyone knows that the government has had things in place to take them over in emergencies for years.

what are they gonna do? bomb other countries until they give up they internets? will servers somehow be impossible to run from a server at home?
dumbfuck gov thinks that this will do anything, but all it will do is destroy freedom of speech (and therefor we can remove the government  ), and yet anyone that owns a computer will still be able to run a website.

While it's true that anyone at home will be able to run a website, no one will be able to connect to each other if there is not network backbone which is what this bill is going after. It's basically and internet kill switch, flip it and all US internet backbone servers disappear.
