Ummm, no. Please don't spread alarmist stuff about these things, as that's not as helpful as people simply reading the legislation or a summary of it themselves, and coming to their own conclusions.

Neither NeuroTalk nor Psych Central would ever face being shut down by any act of a single government. The world's a big place, and if need be, we would simply move our hosting services to another country.

As it stands, a few days ago, the White House announced it would not support the current legislation, so it's dead in the water. With the news media coverage of the issue today and other legislators also backing down, these bills now have zero chance of becoming law.

The problem isn't these bills -- it's the lobbying interests that created these bills in the first place. That's what people should be angry about, and be angry to their legislators and anyone who supported these bills in the first place.

Best,
DocJohn
