SOPA's Internet Censorship-What Is It?

SOPA is "Stop Online Piracy Act". The bills' stated purpose are to provide additional enforcement tools to combat "rogue" websites who are dedicated to copyright infringement or counterfeiting.

As too be expected, the internet community has rallied against the bill in the form of online petitions. In addition, the tech giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, AOL and others have sent a joint-letter speaking in opposition to the measure.

To summarize Google's position, it feels that the way in which the bill has been drafted would expose law-abiding US Internet and Technology companies with uncertain liabilities, private rights to action and technology mandates that would cripple possible innovation and job-creation, as well as, endanger cybersecurity.
