Cyber-terrorism: CISPA.
From the link below:
"It's a little piece of Sopa [the Stop Online Piracy Act] wrapped up
in a bill that's
supposedly designed to facilitate detection of and defence against
cyber-security
threats. The language is so vague that an ISP could use it to monitor
communications of subscribers for potential infringement of
intellectual property."
In effect this law is directed against file-sharers, not Cyber terrorism.

I've heard that pirates also use the Internet. We need to get rid of
that thing immediately.
Wait! What if they burn CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays? We need to get rid of all
those blank discs, right now!
And hey wait, they all breathe, too! If we just stop people from
breathing, we can put an end to it.
Just because a technology is used to break the law doesn't mean it's
responsible for the lawbreaking. Filesharing networks are no more
responsible for piracy than the telephone company is responsible for a
person calling in a bomb threat.
