Would you say these bills might take away the right of free speech? In some ways I do believe by passing this bill, will take away the ability of people to express themselves through social media, blogs, and many other websites. If this pass then many other sites will be effected. One reason why it effects free speech because if you make a video of yourself singing a song the you really enjoy, they can censor the video because you do not have rights to the song. That's taking away your will to do something you enjoy doing. I believe that people should have the right to freely express and show people what they like. To get a better understanding about how this would affect our freedom of speech take a look at this video below to see some aspects of what might happen.
