The worst things about the demise of SOPA is the FUD and scare mongering that it has given way to.

The linked "article" is about the Trans Pacific Partnership. It is a trade regulation not an act of congress. The EFF's page is here:

https://www.eff.org/issues/tpp

And the EFF action page is:

https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KE...

It is interesting to note that the neither the link nor the EFF's page compare TPP to SOPA. They do compare it to ACTA a trade treaty. It seems the submitter is either unaware of the difference between a trade agreement/treaty/regulation and an act of congress, caught up in the anti-SOPA hysterical rage or just looking for a ticket on the anti-SOPA karma train.
