▲ 1118 ▼ Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right. SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.
