The proposal originated from the website Reddit as an alternative to SOPA and PIPA. The main points of the act include Privacy, Censorship, Free Speech and Copyright, and a repeating theme is concerned with every humans right to use the internet as they see fit (within reason of course). The proposed act has received both praise and criticism - Praise for the efforts the Reddit community have gone to in drafting an actual proposal, but criticism for the lack of information it contains about copyrighting.
