House Passes CISPA By Wide Margin

CISPA, or the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or “the worst privacy disaster our country has ever faced” has just passed through the House of Representatives with an astounding majority of 288 to 127. [House Intel Comm]
 
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act wormed its way into the public consiousness shorty after the Internet’s big SOPA smackdown. But unlike previous legislation that aimed to snag some precious Internet control for the government by whining about “content theft,” CISPA’s plan is/was to scoop up information on you in the name of security against cyberthreats by allowing (but really coercing) companies to share your data with good ol’ Johnny Law. And now it’s continuing to roll on towards becoming law.
 
Rally the troops people.  I know there is alot on our plate right now, alot of distractions but we cannot let this pass. -Mort
