So, passing bills to shut down the internet as we know it, became new trend for lobbyist.
Latest bill from their kitchen have new fancy name: CISPA
So, what's CISPA in few words?
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act,
also known as HR 3523 is a cybersecurity House bill that's already gained over 100 sponsors and is perhaps the worst of them all. It would allow companies to collect and monitor private communications and share them with the government, and anyone else.
Well, this bill combines all bills already proposed, like SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, etc into one huge uncontrolled mess, that lets government do whatever they want, with any information they want.
They can censor and block websites such as Wikileaks, copyright infringement sites, and go after owners of those websites. They can,and will tap on everyone's email, they can get your informations from Tor, anonymization service that hides where you are, or hide your identity.
What does that mean? Both the EFF and CDT say an awfully lot. Some of the biggest corporations in the country, including service providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter or AT&T, could copy confidential information and send them off to the Pentagon if pressured, as long as the government believes they have reason to suspect wrongdoing.
