Yes but do you really believe if these laws pass they stay isolated to the United States? I believe there are already a few European countries with similar laws already passed, such as Spain (I'm a bit fuzzy on the details but I could look it up if pressed). So far they haven't really done much with those laws yet, but it's still scary the power those laws give them.
