CISPA: What do you think?
What do you think about CISPA. Should the bill be passed or not.
If you dont know what CISPA is go here

I think its a violation of American Privacy Its them literally telling us they can look through what we do for example if I send a message to my gf of my oui oui(this was a dumb example yes I know)the government will have technology set in place so that they can see that picture. That is none of there buisness so I dont see why they need to see.

What do YOU think?

I think CISPA in my opinon is stupid, I do not want people seeing my private stuff
Private things are suppose to be PRIVATE if goverments can see it and someone else can, then basically we can have no privacy at all

But it is up to the government and it is what it is

Maybe put this as an example

"Yo buddy check this picture, look at what she is doing!"

"Lol that is just wrong"

Now if this was suppose to be private

Then how come others can see it if it is suppose to be only your friends that are suppose to see it

I'm ready for my daily dose of cringe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
USA forever complaining about "mah freedoms" when they don't have any in the first place.

This bill doesn't really have any thing to do with privacy, and yet they bring it up!

I hope I'm totally misunderstanding you here, because a bill that can tap into select internet service providers to go on a hacker witch hunt is absolutely a privacy issue.

I don't follow. I could name countless freedoms that American's enjoy that other people of other countries can not.

For instance, free speech. The ability to peacefully speak out against our government. Or perhaps a right now vote in our officials. Or (for the most part), free enterprise. Although there are some regulations, compared to any other leading country, America is #1 in free enterprise.

What? No, it can't.
The flow of information specified is from gov't entities TO private entities.
The data mentioned is already being collected, the question is whether they can share this data. As you obviously know because you have obviously read up on it, the data pertains only to significant cyberthreats as specified in the bill.
They cannot use this bill to go on a hacker witch hunt because the threat needs to already be specified. Gov't entities cannot use this as an excuse to tap in to ISPs because the bill mainly pertains to gov't entities sharing information with private entities in order to increase security - not to hunt down perpetrators.
Sharing of cybersecurity information is a GOOD THING. This is not sharing of videos of some guy taking a shit or of your browsing history. This is specific information about specific vulnerabilities.

How can having a specific definition of cyberthreat, and a mandate to encourage threat information sharing, be used to tap in to an ISP? Pray tell.

I do believe this, I express them daily. I agree that America isn't a free country but that doesn't mean it's citizens don't have rights. You're a fool to believe that the government has taken away these rights. But no country is free.. no country that isn't doomed beyond repair.

The fact is, if you're more or less any other guy, they can just put you in a prison and nobody might care so much. I mean, not enough to bail you out. Or they can put up some excuses why did they do that. The goverment pretty much does what they want.
