The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) is starting through Congress

CISPA is about companies and the government sharing information. CISPA places no explicit limits on the type of information that may be shared with the government, or between private companies, as long as it is somehow related to cyber threats. This could result in the government blocking access to websites on the basis of copyright infringement, or sites like Wikileaks under the guise of national security.
