Title: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: Acesbomb on April 18, 2013, 05:58:58 PM http://rt.com/usa/congress-house-bill-cispa-031/
Quote CISPA, added Pelosi, provides “overly broad liability protections and immunity to the businesses that violate our liberties,” and fails to strike a “crucial balance between security and liberty.” Quote: Another lawmaker, Rep. Dan Maffei (D-New York), said CISPA was necessary to protect the US against “independent groups like WikiLeaks,” adding unfounded claims that the whistleblower website is “taking very aggressive measures to hack into” US computer networks.

Every cloud has a silver lining. CISPA will drive increased use of encryption.

privacy will take a hit but im guessing people will come up with and uses end to end encryption and have no packets open it could change the landscape of the net, but thats all i can see Title: Re: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: JimmiesForBitcoins on April 18, 2013, 06:58:01 PM I hear what you mean, but there is no upside to CISPA.

Title: Re: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: Barnacle_Ed on April 18, 2013, 06:59:22 PM IIRC, Obama went on the record saying he would veto the bill if it landed on his desk.
I'm not overly concerned yet that it may pass, but I am - for the umpteenth time - disappointed by Congress. Title: Re: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: Mike Christ on April 18, 2013, 07:01:03 PM So if HoR keeps pushing this thing into congress, and it keeps getting swatted down...
At which point do we get to fire our representatives? They're obviously not listening :P Title: Re: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: JimmiesForBitcoins on April 18, 2013, 07:01:35 PM IIRC, Obama went on the record saying he would veto the bill if it landed on his desk. Good to know. Although it still has to pass through the senate I believe. I think it only barely made it through the house.I'm not overly concerned yet that it may pass, but I am - for the umpteenth time - disappointed by Congress.

Obama has historically been a proponent of government-regulated internetz Title: Re: [RT] US House of Representatives passes CISPA cybersecurity bill Post by: aigeezer on April 19, 2013, 01:38:54 PM I think the key issue is the underlying government mindset, rather than the specifics of how far the bill gets in this cycle or how nimble techies might dodge this particular thrust.
Hmmn - very strong impulse to self-censor and not post an opinion. Who needs the hassle? Yikes!
