A new lobbying group was announced on Wednesday - the Internet Association - Amazon, Google, Facebook and 11 others.
Wired News says the group would have fought against SOPA, and:
the group also supports reforming the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) is proposing sweeping digital privacy protections requiring the government, for the first time, to get a probable-cause warrant to obtain e-mail and other content stored in the cloud.
