Nothing about the bill suggests it will be limited to operational network security data, so you should stop spreading this untruth. In fact, it's pretty obvious that it won't be just netflows.
(For those following and don't know what a netflow is, it doesn't contain payload data. It's more or less headers and statistics. Nothing about CISPA attempts to limit information to netflows only.)
- diminoten 14y agoSo the whole "directly related to a cyber threat" thing doesn't limit the data that can be shared in any way? I wish this bill were more focused on network security events and didn't have any language in it to deal with stuff like cyberbullying, but I'm glad it's moving forward. Worst case scenario we find it in the Supreme Court where it gets narrowed to be more like what it should have been written as. Happens all the time, we're not going to wake up to a dystopian future with silent arrests and "we have always been at (cyber) war with Eastasia!" the day this passes.
- tptacek 14y agoI don't think it's very honest of you to suggest that I'm claiming CISPA only covers Netflow information. I use Netflow as an example of the kind of benign information that is difficult to share today, and would be easier to share under CISPA. I've explicitly described scenarios that could include message payloads on these threads, and I know you've read those messages because you've replied to them.
