HR 3523 CISPA (the return of SOPA)

[Xhin]

The latest attempt by Congress to try to regulate and control the Internet is no longer known as SOPA but CISPA: the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The SOPA-like bill would give companies the power to collect information on their subscribers and hand it over to the government and all they have to do is request it. Kendall Burman, senior national security fellow for the Center for Democracy and Technology, joins Liz Wahl to talk about what this means for online freedoms.

Two things are wrong with your statement:

* The only companies that can pass that information on are cybersecurity companies (they have to actually specialize in that field), however if a cybersecurity company works for, say, facebook it amounts to the same thing.
* The government doesn't have to request the information; the cybersecurity company is free to share the information with the DoD/NSA at any time without need for pesky things like privacy and disclosure laws.

Bump so this doesn't get reposted (again).

Have they already forgotten their winning formula with the Patriot Act?

They just need to call this act "Internet Freedom Act" and BAM, passed

Or take a page out of PCIP's book: "Saving Hosts from Internet Terrorists" (SHIT for short)

USUAL SUSPECTS

I always tried to tell people this Congressman was very dangerous... This guy lied to Americans numerous times with his operations around the globe. He is the head of the POLICE STATE. He's also the one that pushed for funding the assassinations of the Qaddafi regime because of; Chemical Weapons, Terrorism, and of course, the 1st line of all foreign spending, "A threat to Israel'.
