Al Gore: SOPA Is A Threat To The Internet

SOPA is a threat to the Internet



During a speech last night Al Gore voiced his concerns about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

Responding to a question from the audience, the former US Vice President said that while content creators have legitimate concerns, SOPA is not the right answer.

“In our world today there is hardly anything more important [...] than to save and protect the vibrancy and freedom of the Internet,” Gore said.

“The Internet is bringing life back to democracy.”

“Anything that would threaten the vibrancy and freedom of the Internet and the future, I’m against.”
