As the debate over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) reached a breaking point this week, a new report found this topic was discussed more online than most other big events in 2011.
That's according to research analysis firm General Sentiment with a new report on the SOPA/PIPA protest and its impact in the social media world.
According to the report, the SOPA/PIPA Protest ranked third in overall social media volume with 8.6 million mentions -- higher than the 2011 Super Bowl, the Oscars, the Oprah Finale, and the American Idol finale and premiere.
Only the death of Osama Bin Laden (15.3 million mentions) and the Royal Wedding (14.3 million) attracted more social media attention.
Here are some of the highlights from the report:
