CISPA Law Passed

[Donald Trump_]

CISPA law was passed while the whole Boston thing was taking place. Just like how Patriot Act came out of 9/11. It's a law that basically lets websites hand over your information to the government. Yeah.

Yeah, pretty shitty. Lol

Good thing I stay anon. Though that doesn't really help against THE MAN. :

Well played Obama. Well played.

I'm glad I never use my real details online.

How will this really make things any different?

It makes me wonder, where were all the sheep that protested the SOPA and PIPA bills for this one? They care about not being able to visit a site, but they don't care about their privacy and freedom? Barely heard anything on it at all, at least protest wise.

Under the legislation, businesses and the federal government would be able to share technical data without worrying about anti-trust or classification laws. The bill also would grant businesses legal immunity if hacked so long as they acted in good faith to protect their networks. The bill is sponsored by Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the panel's top Democrat.

Depends on how they use that information and how you personally feel about it, I guess.

Such a misleading title. It's not a law at all. It only passed the house. Still has to go through the Senate and Obama has already threatened to VETO it, like he did for the previous version.

Chances of it getting through, less than 10% imo.

Also, there's been plenty of protests. I get emails from Change.org and other almost every day informing me of their protests/updates and shit.

Does this mean I can't go to torrent sites anymore? To sites containing roms and emulators?

I read up on the bill some more and absolutely think now the government will use this largely to spy on the general public... Although I always thought they could monitor your browser information anyway.

Not what's it's used for. CISPA is about the governement being allowed to request your information and the company's not having to inform you of it, in case you were a threat to national security etc. planning dark stuff.

Of course there will be conspiracy theories, in fact Kobe's OP is one giant conspiracy theory... if you have nothing to hide what's the issue? This isn't about them monitoring what torrents you download. You think they don't already know that? Give over. If they cared about that, what else would they have to plow billions of dollars into "fighting against" like they do piracy, eh?

Meant all the viral videos and their sheep-like followers that don't really protest anything at all other than sharing it on facebook and saying "fuck da man i want MUH FREEDUMS" in the comment sections.

If people with the power wanted to abuse it they could with or without legislation let's be honest here.

And that's what I don't get about people who post conspiracy theories about shit like that. You think they're going to publicly bring out a legislation that tells you their looking at your stuff when they could do it anyway and you wouldn't even know? Please.
