- yuhong 15y agoNot the same thing, and CISPA has nothing to do with the MPAA.
- Joakal 15y agoYou disagree that people shouldn't have privacy when accessing information on the Internet? Perhaps to make an informed vote without persecution and intimidation?
- yuhong 15y agotptacek has discussed this before.

- Joakal 15y agoThere's one example: "ECPA is actually fairly strict. It would be both illegal and tortious for Google to, for example, share the entire contents of your Gmail archives with the MPAA, currently. But after CISPA passes, it would be neither illegal nor a tort." I'm sorry, but CISPA erodes privacy of the people. Otherwise, what's the purpose of the bill then? tptacek doesn't even say except attack the anti-CISPA advocates saying that it's nothing new. There's an appropriate quote for that: "A claim that is nonsense on its face. Even if you knew absolutely nothing about any of the issues involved, the claim that the government is busy making legislation that does nothing is nonsensical."
