Calm down.

The government isn't sending men in black helicopters to shut down your sites or drown your kittens.

That means they can essentially and legally keep track of everything that you do and give that data to whomever is authorize by the law to have it... aka the US government.

And all this WITHOUT A COURT ORDER.
Have you ever had an ISP and read the contract? Besides your connection to the Internet. They all can do this and shut you down. Without a court order.
