    If you are 100% legit what's to be scared of?

    I do not think this helps you.

      Probably not. But the problem with this law is it's over reaching and it's so easy to abuse. It has takedown clause that gives the Department of Justice the right to take down websites they deem inappropriate. They can sue you or your worker for "libelous" posts, comments, shares, even liking a libelous photo or post.

      There's good news though, the Supreme Court just issued a TRO on the cybercrime law. They will reconvene next year to discuss the controversial provisions of this law.
