SOPA is not even close to this law in terms of the damage to the liberties.

SOPA was a crazy bill floated by a few crazy politicians. It did not pass.

This, as I understand it, is now law.

And still might later as there are bills/amendments in motion that could if enacted and enforced result in the same level of control/monitoring/etc.

The fact that the US nearly did something (and might manage to by the back door at some point soon) does not affect whether that something is considered draconian. It just means that the US nearly wrote into law something that many consider draconian.

And SOPA wasn't Draconian?

Yeah, and I remember the whole internet being up in arms about it and getting it thrown out. Doesn't Russia deserve the same support?
