Ask HN: What's the deal with CISPA?
There was a lot of discussion on Hacker News regarding SOPA. I was expecting to see a lot of coverage regarding CISPA, but it looks like people aren't that interested: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=sopa%2C%20cispa%2C%20pipa&geo=US&cmpt=q
Do you think Americans will care enough to stop it? Are people sidetracked, or is internet about to change?
- mikecane 13y agoI was wondering this too since tomorrow -- 4/22 -- is supposed to be an Internet Blackout day to protest CISPA. But it seems only some Anons are doing this. I don't see the groundswell from others.
- hkhanna 13y agoSince the President has said he would veto it, most people don't think it will even pass the Senate. People are saving up their 'capital' (e.g. blacking out their websites) for when there is a real danger of something like this becoming law.
