The CISPA Bill and Big Brother




See article here:  CISPA Rseource Page

See the bill here:  CISPA Bill

The SOPA Bill recently defeated in Congress had a lot of people alarmed about government intrusion into internet privacy.  Not many people are aware of the CISPA Bill now being considered in Congress.  The CISPA Bill makes SOPA look like a day in the park.  The bill requires private industry to share user data with the government.  It gives the military complete control over privacy security.  It supersedes all previous privacy laws.  And it scares the heck out of me.

The Center for Democracy & Technology and the ACLU have both come out against it.  President Obama has threatened to veto it.

I'm gravely concerned that such a bill could get as far as this one has.  I would like to see legislation protecting internet privacy for users.
