CISPA is back

[-Jes-]

They'll never quit, will they?

When do old imbeciles who want to stay in power quit trying to stay in power?

[TankDempsey]

I swear, It's like they're trying to piss us off.

[darkstar64]

Anonymous is gonna strike back hard if this passes.

Anonymous is gonna strike back hard if this passes.

Because a bunch of pms'ing script kiddies will surely spell the doom for corporate america.

That's why we need to assemble a real Project Mayhem.

Yes.

To be fair if the government could tap into people's computers, chances are they'll catch alot of these fucked up individuals you have walking the street nowadays.

[Catastrophe]

What? Jail even more people in the US so the rich get richer? No thanks.

[SyKoTiC]

Why can't i vote yes on this poll? Blasphamy!

But yeah...this new bill thing is obviously not going to work.

Nope they will not.

Keep in mind, if they have the skill, they can hack into the government's federal defenses and inflict some serious damage, and possibly even reveal its secrets to its enemies.

I know that sounds like some Illuminati conspiracy theory, but it seems like the agenda for greedy politicians, companies who care only about profit, and vapid celebrities who contribute nothing to society aside from some bullshit you find in the tabloids.

It's that and misguided efforts. While yes, CISPA has a real and justified reason for existing, the point is its vague wording allows it to be used as justification for all sorts of shady things to happen, such as companies sending other companies or the USG all the data they have in their databases on their users in the name of "cyber security". It's not to make money, at least not as I see it. It's to lower the already low barriers for shipping user data around and guarantee safety and legal immunity for this. While I'm sure there's money to be gained from this, it's not the main motive.

Removing all personally-identifiable data is the norm now, but CISPA has no qualms with keeping it in there. And regardless, Google and Facebook have demonstrated, multiple times, that supposedly anonymous data can still be used to figure out who exactly you are. There's still pitfalls, but...

Also, while I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed that absolutely no meat is in this discussion. Seriously, guys? Hacker News does much better at actually having interesting conversation.

[Chillsing1310]

yay cispa! :D
why is there no yes vote

[Spottswoode]

This is the IP industries attempting to fight hackers. All it does is even the playing field among the large companies, as well as allow the government to follow your every move online. Without a warrant. Awesome stuff really. (Fucking retards don't even know how it works.)

I'm going to assume you labor under the belief that the Federal Government has no idea how to engage in cyber warfare. You'd be sadly mistaken. If Anonymous takes to terrorism, you can kiss it goodbye.
