Unfortunately I doubt Facebook will even mention the SOPA law. Google might put a small piece of text on the bottom of the home page about it, but even then that's a big "maybe."

I don't think Google should politicise its homepage, same goes for Facebook. Once you start opening the floodgates, you start to polarise your service to political persuasions.

Indeed... I am from Brazil and I wish i could help in someway, because this are terrible news.

It's a sad day when Google apparently cares less about social justice than YouPorn.

edit: I withdraw my criticism, see below.

? Google is the largest company standing in public opposition to the SOPA bill, and has publicized its concerns at the hearings.

Fair enough, and I saw their newspaper ad also. That said, I think any real attempt at killing this bill needs to include a show of grassroots opposition, not merely trying to out-hollywood hollywood with money and public testimony.

Listening to Google right now at the hearing. They do a pretty good job educating the room with the problems with this bill.
