Could the Blacklist Bill effectively kill user-generated content on the Internet? If so, would Twitter, Youtube, and similar sites die? [Demand Progress]

There is also the Stop Online Piracy Act, as “Congress has declared war on the Internet.” [gigaom]

One more – this one is called the E-PARASITES Act (renamed from the PROTECT IP Act). Ugh. [Tech Dirt]

There is a White House petition to stop the E-PARASITE Act. Check it out and sign it if you agree with its goal. [WhiteHouse.gov]

On a lighter note – Heads-up navigation display for cars. Yes please! [PHYSORG]
