CISPA - For crying out loud, take it down!

Legacy: "Once upon a time there was a bill called SOPA .  Some evil trolls who worked and conducted meetings in a big domed building in Washington DC tried to make a wicked law to allow them to close people’s internet-based businesses and websites whenever they wanted, for the silliest of reasons, much to the delight of the head ogre who lived in a big White House. The people of the land all stood up angrily and complained to fight against the law, and through their efforts, defeated the trolls and the head ogre.  The laws of the internet remained fair, the trolls were duly chastened, the ogre pretended benevolence and the people lived happily ever after, internet freedoms intact….. Well…..until the dragon CISPA reared it’s ugly head."



Meet CISPA, the lovely little law that congress is now trying to pass, which is a nightmare-ish combination of SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA. With this bill, the government will be able to censure not only our internet, to shut down site after site for whatever reason they deem it "a security threat", but they can do the same to our phones. Imagine a government agent following you around night and day, reading every text, listening to every phone call, and watching over your shoulder at every site you visit. THAT'S CISPA. This is a law just waiting to be abused, it's worded so vaguely that ANYTHING could be seen as a "threat". Read some of these uses of CISPA.



CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE ~ “information pertaining to protecting a system or network from—(A) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (B) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information.”
SELF-PROTECTED ENTITY ~ “an entity, other than an individual, that provides goods or services for cyber security purposes to itself.”
PROTECTED ENTITY ~ “‘protected entity’ means an entity, other than an individual, that contracts with a cybersecurity provider for goods or services to be used for cybersecurity purposes.”



Also note that “Cybersecurity” is not actually defined in the document.



Look at the words I underlined, can you see how easily those could be abused? If CISPA gets out, anything we hear about the government could very well be censured. They would be able to so easily cover their tracks! Please, make your friends aware, we need to bring down this CISPA.
