ACTA vs. SOPA: Five Reasons ACTA is Scarier Threat to Internet Freedom


ACTA may be scarier than SOPA, Internet freedom advocates say, and outrage over the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement treaty is growing as it gains international prominence in the wake of the U.S. Congress shelving the Stop Online Piracy Act last week.

Both the ACTA treaty and the SOPA bill are ostensibly aimed at stopping counterfeiting and piracy, but opponents argue that they would have the adverse effects of limiting Internet freedom, quashing innovation and possibly even censoring the Internet.
