I have recently heard that Youtube and Facebook are to at risk of being removed from the internet and all of the internet will possibly be censored. Do you think it's true? What are your insights on it?

A bit more info on this subject which I have copied from the tumblr linked below.
--------------------------------------------

Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.

You can find more information on protect-the-net tumblr which also has links to the 2 bills being considered.
