• Question:-What exactly is PIPA and SOPA trying to censor?
  I don't have a full understanding of what the internet censorship protests are all about. Some places say you'd have to say goodbye to sites like Google and Wikipedia, even Craigslist has banners to stop PIPA and SOPA.
  
  So what would happen if the web was censored? And most importantly, what would get censored?
