Compares SOPA to polices of China, Iran, North Korea
Buchanan said regulation of the Internet is something to be expected from restrictive societies like China, Iran, and North Korea -- but not the United States.
"Since its inception, the Internet has been a revolutionary tool in our society, encouraging the free exchange of information and ideas," said Buchanan. "Excessive regulations and government intrusion would only serve to hinder the innovation and progress of this cutting-edge tool. I will continue to fight for policies that preserve and protect an open and democratic Internet."
