Facebook vs. SOPA of the Day: Facebook has joined the fight against SOPA and PIPA. In a statement on the company’s policy website, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has issued a statement explaining Facebook’s opposition to the bills.
“PROTECT IP and SOPA could create very real problems for Internet companies like ours that are a primary driver of innovation, growth, and job creation in the 21st century economy,” the statement said.
“The bills contain overly broad definitions and create a new private cause of action against companies on the basis of those expansive definitions, which could seriously hamper the innovation, growth, and investment in new companies that have been the hallmarks of the Internet.”
Facebook clarified that opposing SOPA doesn’t mean it supports piracy or copyright infringement, and proved its point by including a link to report infringing content on the social network.
