In stifles innovation because start ups will not be able to comply. Can you see Tumblr launching if they had to police every single microblog on their system? Can you see Twitter launching if every link on every tweet had to be policed. How about sound cloud, they'd have to check every track for samples!

We're not talking about Facebook suddenly having to OK every status, pic, post, etc and then Facebook being fucked. They are rich, you say, they can afford it. Yes, probably they could. It's the STARTUPS, the innovators, not the Zucks of the world this bill will cripple.
So, if I understand right, you are suggesting that any business model that is underfunded and cannot comply with our laws and regulations should be allowed to startup and do damage to our society in the name of "innovation".

Would you apply this same reasoning to drug companies, food processors and construction companies? What are you going to do when you are poisoned and your condo building collapses.....

In construction, does replacing rebar with recycled plastics justify the results because they were "innovators"?

Personally, I think the same situation applies here.
