The White House has responded to online petitions against the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT-IP Act, which together have received over 100,000 signatures, indicating it will not support the bills as currently drafted:
“While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.”
