> I don't understand why this should be downvoted. Are those downvoting it suggesting that the government does indeed want to see these sites go? Or that they will go?
The Government doesn't care, and the sites will go because it will be too expensive or impossible for them to monitor user-generated content.
> One thing that has been confusing me during the course of the proceedings is that it has been repeatedly suggested that SOPA will be only affecting foreign websites. Is this not actually the case?
Wrong. It will also affect foreign websites because ICANN controls the DNS system.
