Mozilla is biased (towards open internet, liberalism, etc) so evidently this is an opinion piece--they are asking us to stop something they don't agree with!

#6Very bad reform. Among the other things, it makes any site directly responsible for every copyright violation of its users.
For a change, this is as bad for big and small companies.
Not even Facebook can policy all the posts of their users for words, pictures, sounds and videos. FB won't get a takedown notice, it could be sued directly.

I might be wrong, but I think that they haven't posted any actual text because the document(s) got leaked.
If you're looking for a proper discussion about this and the actual text, EDRi (something like EU's EFF) is probably what you're looking for. They did an extensive coverage of this in the last couple of days and have published the leaked documents.

I found this[0] (PDF) to be a good summarized critique of the proposal.
This one[1] as well, although it's a bit longer.
