same goes even moreso with social media sites like facebook and twitter
Under this law, the forum owner would simply have to either a) not ask people to upload stolen goods and promote the forum as a place for infringement or b) respond to complaints. Because Facebook and Twitter and do not advertise as pirate sites, and are used by people other than thieves, they are immune under this law. You're worried about a make believe bill, or maybe, last yearns bill. None of your concerns apply to this bill.
