WATCH: Could The Government Really Shut Down Facebook?

We need your help. Big business, government agencies, and lawmakers are attacking Internet freedom from every imaginable angle.

We just made this web video that explains some of the most present threats -- including the possibility that the Feds could shut down sites like Facebook:

Will you watch the video and donate $5 or $10 so we can continue our work? You can donate using ActBlue or PayPal at right.

The scope of the threat to Internet freedom is astounding:

• The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (the "Internet Blacklist Bill") would block your access to sites the government says are engaging in even small amounts of copyright infringement -- no matter what other content they house.

• The government just arrested one website operator for linking to other sites.

• Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been seizing domain names without due process: they shut down 84,000 sites by accident last month, and government officials think ICE and DHS are claiming powers that would even let them shut down Facebook.

 Industries with deep pockets can pay people big bucks to shill for them in Washington.  Your pockets might not be as deep, but there are hundreds of thousands of you, and we need your support so we can keep fighting back.  Will you donate $5 or $10 to Demand Progress so we can continue our work?

It's easy to make a donation via PayPal or ActBlue at the upper-right of this page.
