This whole SOPA/PIPA thing seems to be blown completely out of proportion, based entirely on hypothetical and unfair "what-if" scenarios based on the imaginary case where the laws are used in ways that they weren't intended.
SOPA/PIPA apply to organizations with a long history of abuse. Applying a history of abuse to hypotheticals is reasonable. Taking an entity with no history of abuse and assuming that they would abuse in the future is not.
Human beings have a long history of abuse. The discussion here seems to be talking about the general case of admins looking at user data, a discussion in which that long history is very relevant. Maybe we're getting out of the bounds of usefulness by having that general discussion, but it's perfectly natural and unsurprising.
