CISPA?

Dangerous Cybersecurity Legislation Threatens Online Privacy


The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) is back.

Last year, Representatives Rogers and Ruppersberger introduced CISPA, which would create a gaping new exemption to existing privacy law. CISPA would grant companies more power to obtain “threat” information (such as from private communications of users) and to disclose that data to the government without a warrant -- including sending data to the National Security Agency.

This week, CISPA was reintroduced in the House of Representatives. EFF is joining groups like ACLU and Fight for the Future in combating this legislation.

Last year, tens of thousands of concerned individuals used the EFF action center to speak out against overbroad and ineffective cybersecurity proposals. Together, we substantially changed the debate around cybersecurity in the U.S., moving forward a range of privacy-protective amendments and ultimately helping to defeat the Senate bill.

Now we need your help again. Can you send a message to your Representatives asking them to oppose this bill?

I've always wondered, does this only apply to the USA, or does it apply to other foreign countries as well? I know the article says that it is for the USA, but are there similar things in other countries?

Why even bother getting worried? They never go through.

If nobody is worried and nobody does anything about it they WILL go through.
 
They will push through if we don't protest to it.
 
Without the support of Facebook, Google, etc... The chances of this getting through are considerably higher then as it was for SOPA.
 
I chose not to e-Protest this stuff. No senator checks their Twitter. Something will obviously govern the internet eventually. Not saying I support or protest it, just my opinion
 
I have the perfect domain for this. 😛 StopCispa.com

but not planning to use it =\

But on-topic, I do not support this.
