Oh please, they're not going to haul anyone off to camps or toss a bomb in anyone's window.
The U.S. government has far worse things to worry about than lowly citizens like us watching porn and YouTube videos - unless you also happen to be part of a dangerous hacker group or an ultra-paranoid militia.
In that case, you're probably better off being taken out of the picture - and so is society at large.
Some Militas are around with good reason I sure as hell don't trust DC, also the law has been used to assassinate citizens. Of course many of them as you pointed out deserved it however today we have two radical movements who don't care for moderation and want it all one way or not at all. Should they keep gaining politcal clout as they have, who is to say they would not turn those powers around to there advantage? Moderation is dead or nearing it, and we have from 96 jumped up from 56 Armed Militia's whos numbers were 60k, to over four hundred that have adopted cell structures and most estimates place at being in the area of 2 to 3 million. And have underwent paramilitary or in some cases offical military training.
Hardly "Fringe yocals". If the US survives without a tolertarian government, intenational intervention or a civil war in the next 20 years, you can color me surprised. Normally our Wealth would be a safe guard here, but according to latest reports 50% of Americans live at or near poverty while 12% have seen there wealth climb 40%, creating yet more social devides. Nevermind large numbers of weapons the have vanished thanks to the stupid, gun running program. An the inability for us to stop our debt from growing, or the fact mexican drug cartels have been raiding the border at will. Also as has been shown in pakistan, afghanista, Iraq, Libya, and Iran, we have a carefree nature about civilian damange. Many in the CIA and the White House Adminstration have even taken a liking to using drones to do less than "questionable" military and political goals, as a drone is not a person and thus cannot be charged under any sort of law. Or if as was the case with CIA prisons, if its not in the US then US law need not apply.
Replace the Word America with any other nation and people would be nodding there heads. screaming civil rights abuse, or would be saying a civilwar is coming. And in the case of the US one that would spread to the whole of North America, if not turn into a global conflict. In fact most reacent events leave a global war a question of When, rather than If, unless massive changes happen.
As to it affecting non Americans (SOPA). Well thats what you get when you rely on a service from another nation. If its important enough you seek a new source, or you do as they want. As is the Case with swaths of Europe with Russian Oil, or large parts of the World, and Chinese Trade Goods. Most of the Worlds Net addy's are US registerd and owned, as is most of the infastructure.
