That's not what I believe at all. I'm just saying that there needs to be a less broad approach to CISPA and that there needs to be a more clear explanation as to what exactly can or cannot be tracked, because with the current legislation, indefinite snooping of innocent individuals is possible under it.
The bill itself is fine. It is by no means the same as SOPA or PIPA, but it's also poorly written and allows companies and the U.S. Government to exploit citizens. That's what people need to get attention to. The website that this post links to is misleading; look at some other sources of information to see what really is going on.
- tptacek 14y agoHow does did CISPA allow companies to "exploit citizens"? When you answer that, try to capture what it was that companies couldn't do before CISPA and could have done after CISPA, and how they'd have had any incentive to use CISPA as their vector to do those things.
