In a nutshell, members in the United States congress are looking at passing another bill about the internet, The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). I haven't had much time to look over it, as I just heard about it an hour ago. But here are some links, maybe someone can find out more about it. Not quite sure how this is different than much of what is already done.
A short quote on what CISPA is from what I've found.

TLDR: Gives ISPs power to collect information about you and share it with companies. Does not explicitly allow censorship.
- ISPs have the power to collect information about your Internet use.
- The RIAA/MPAA/etc con contract with your ISP to obtain this information.
- This information is "proprietary" -- you don't have the right to know what info they're collecting on you.
- The ISP is exempt from all legal and criminal action for surveillance under this bill.
