CISPA - Cyber Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act
the article below was posted April 12, 2013 @11:49 AM.
"TechNet, the trade association that represents dozens of prominent technology companies, including Google, Apple and Facebook, has come out in support of the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) in a formal letter to the U.S. House of Representatives this week." i haven't looked into this too much yet, but it seems pretty shady, given the timing and all. link: CISPA 2013: Google, Apple Top Massive List Of Supporters Favoring The Controversial Cybersecurity Bill and here's the co-founder of reddit in a video he posted on the 10th trying to get people to sign a petition to stop it. i don't really have a discussion topic, but i came across this and thought it probably deserves a thread. :) |
I really hope the petition works. Does this affect American's only or everyone everywhere?

Based on the article in this thread. It already passed 18 to 2 in a closed door vote.
As far as who it affects, it is more targeted towards domestic security whereas Sopa and Pipa were more international. Here is a site that will catch you up to speed on the details What is CISPA, and what does it mean for you? FAQ | ZDNet |

Personally, and I am not exactly pro government mind you, It seems that the only people that should be worried about this, or afraid are people that have something to hide?

if "private" and "hidden" are synonymous, sure.
