Hi everyone, I will be brief under CISPA which is planned on being voted on next week, The Department of Homeland Security will be in charge of without any warrant or jurisdiction to be able not only try pry into your personal information but be able allow without a warrant your employers to view what you look at online even at home and especially when just applying for a job, be able to block and shut down websites including some of are favorites like Drudge Report and even Newsmax.com. This bill can also without a warrant allow the Government to view your e-mails and Credit Card numbers which again includes anyone just requesting information about you including what you buy. The Tea Part must take privacy seriously. One more thing I should mention under this CISPA bill you cannot SUE YOU ISP for giving out your information without your consent. As this article states towards the last CISPA bill the bill immunizes all participating entities ‘acting in good faith.’ So what happens when an ISP hands over mountains of data under the encouragement and appreciation of the federal government? We can’t sue the government, because they didn’t do anything. And we can’t sue the ISP because the bill forbids it.”

Here is a list of what CISPA will do if passed:
- Online banking and trading: dead as we know it. Who is going to use online banking services, knowing that anyone from a local police department snoop, to a federal spy agency, to even random private companies might be watching your every trade, and your purchase history, without a warrant or court involvement of ANY kind.
- The ‘adult entertainment’ industry: dead as we know it. Big Brother is watching you. If CISPA becomes law, which it appears on the fast-track to do, who will watch knowing that others are watching you.
- Online health databases and discussion forums such as WebMD: dead as we know it. Who will ask intimate health questions, knowing that your identity is not even semi-anonymous any more?
- Online suicide helplines, depression forums, political discussion communities: dead as we know it. Same reason as above.
- Legitimate criticism of the government: dead as we know it, especially if you are a “job seeker” who doesn’t want any blemishes on your record to get in the way of surviving.
- Online communities like Reddit: dead as we know it. So much for the semi-anonymous, crowd-sourced hive-mind brilliance of multi-million user social communities.
- Facebook: dead as we know it (although they don’t seem to care). Who will use the service, knowing that countless other companies could be watching and logging every profile and photo you view, every message you send or receive, and every connection you’ve ever made.
First read this article, remember this is the same CISPA as before:
